The self: philosophical approaches of analytic and phenomenological tradition
Summary:
In this thesis entitled "The self: philosophical approaches of analytic and phenomenological tradition", the problem statement is posed as to whether there is an analogy between the concept of institution in Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology and the concept of self-constitution as it appears in the philosophical texts of Korsgaard, and it is also researched the way in which the self is approached in two schools of thought of the post-Cartesian philosophy. In an attempt to show whether there is a dialogue between the two traditions in order to present its limits, the following three concepts were used in each of the three parts of the thesis. The first one refers to the notion of corporeality, the second one to respect, and the third one to the possible analogy between the terms institution and self-constitution. The concepts of corporeality and intersubjectivity play a crucial role in understanding the other in phenomenology. At the same time, there is reference to the concept of respect as a limit to action and an element of understanding in the Kantian tradition. In both cases under consideration, there is a transition towards something new and analogous: from a transcendental consciousness to an embodied self in which the notion of institution is an important one, and from the independence of moral principles to the construction of a self through the action and the choice of the agent. In particular, the following analogy arises between the two traditions: unlike a consciousness that constitutes (as it happens in the philosophy of Husserl), with Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, induction is possible, which enables the creation of essences in the phenomenological sense. In Korsgaard’s philosophy, by modifying the Kantian tradition for which moral principles exist independently of individual beliefs, emphasizing a constructivism in the context of a moral philosophy and the major role of practical identity, a self is presented that is constituted by a self-acting subject through choices and actions, thus creating normative principles.
