Refreshing my mind with work I have not visited for a long time. Thank you. Brilliant - concise- informative- intelligent - the best explanation I have come across online.
Professor Thorsby, I can't thank you enough for making these videos publicly available. I'm currently taking a class on Husserl and Heidegger, and I've been watching your videos as I read the texts, and it has transformed my experience. I read the chapters first on my own, and then I watch the accompanying video. Sometimes I go back and reread the chapter afterwards. It feels like I'm getting so much more out of the texts than I would if I just read them on my own. Thank you!
Prof. Thorsby, thank you very much. I watched about 4 of your videos. It has helped me greatly to solidify and enrich my grasping of the subject. On around minute 26:36 appears: "Consciousness of the immanent vs. Consciousness directed towards something transcendent." As I have been considering, if I remember well, the "immanent" as the phenomena inherent and situated in consciousness only, and the "transcendental" also something related to the a priori in the structure of consciousness, or the Kantian "conditions of possibility", and the "transcendent" as entities, "objects" outside consciousness, or, in another version, that which is outside the boundaries, in a Kantian view again, of our possibilities of knowing. Whatever your comment it would appreciated, thanks again, I have been reading lots but I never took a class in phenomenology. Best..
So is it correct that, through experience with the world, we create an eidos of an object that has certain properties that is then in our phenomenological residuum or is it, because of the fundamental perceiving, that this can never be a mathematical truth such as the knowledge that triangles have three sides?
Hi Ted. I am happy that you enjoyed the videos. I use a combination of software. For the actual presentation slides I use Prezi and for the filming I use Screen-cast-o-matic. Thanks again.
