Analiza struktury i geneza egzystencji: dwie postacie metody fenomenologicznej

The article argues that the static and genetic phenomenological methods are complementary rather than opposed. In claiming this, it challenges Jacques Derrida’s interpretation of Edmund Husserl’s philosophy. It is claimed that a proper understanding of the two methods must take into consideration Husserl’s B III 10 manuscript. Using the manuscript the author reconstructs the object, limits, and character of both methods of inquiry. Then it is argued that one is able to use the genetic method to investigate human existence. Indeed, Husserl studies the topic of existence in the E III 6 manuscript and in the Crisis.
