THE PHENOMENALITY OF THE OTHER’S NON-PHENOMENALITY. PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE ALTER EGO

Transcedental egology, which tries to follow intentional constitutive moments and explicate them, produces itself by following its guiding principe, evidence, where the presence („selbst da“, „unmittelbar anschaulich“, „originaliter gegeben“) of lived-experience in front of self-identical conscious subject has a mobilizing function. The differenctiation of evidences and phenomenological epoche, which aims to build self-transparent and rigorous scientific edifice, brackets those modes of givenness which might harbor the slightest possibility of doubt. Under this principle indirect givvences or absence is expelled or subordinated to the direct, straightforward giveness of presence: in this horizon arrises the problem of the otherness of the other. Despite this privilege and unavoidable prevalence of presence in the Cartesian way, I will try to reconstruct Husserls analyses of consitutution of the otherness and of intersebjectivity (in Fifth Cartesian Meditation) in such a way that the constitutive function of absence/ non-presence will appear irreducible. Husserl, without leaving the immanence of Egology, explains the giveness of Other, and walks beyond solipsism and phenomenology of presence. I will anlyse how the irreducibilie absence of the otherness appears in the presence, participates and performs fundamental constitutive role in the constitutive process, after which, the phenomenology of otherness produced in the presence, will appear the process of exhausting the presence rather that subordinating absence to presence
