FIRST MEDITATION: INTRODUCTION. ON THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS AS MOVEMENT IN A ZIGZAG PATTERN

This is a Russian translation of the first of Phenomenological Meditations of Marc Richir. The text consists of two sections. In the first section, Richir develops Husserl's remark on “movement in a zigzag pattern” and makes a distinction between the logical structure of phenomenology and the symbolic systems of the German idealism. The sphere of the phenomenological is not given from the very beginning; phenomena have essential indeterminacy which cannot be clarified in “one go.” In the second section, Richir analyses the distinction between the symbolic and phenomenological layers of sense, and offers a new version of phenomenological hermeneutics.
