❤️Something about Philosophy - Intentional Feeling
Details
The fourth Thursday of the month is our time to get together for camaraderie, a fun meal, and of course a discussion, regarding something about Philosophy.
Summary of this arc so far.
At our last discussion, we showed that Husserl, Heidegger, and Sartre were all actively arguing against Descartes' Dualism.
The goal is to shift from a dualistic subject/object split into a unified embodied experience.
Philosophy thereby becomes practiced through lived experience rather than disembodied mental conjecture.
We have one more step before turning to Merleau-Ponty's embodied perception, and that is to discover that feeling or emotion is yet another way the world discloses itself.
