To better understand the experience of unschooling, non-directive in-depth interviews with five Quebec adults who had experienced it were conducted according to a phenomenological approach, revealing their perceptions of their educational experiences and their families, as well as their views of the world. Certain aspects of the testimonies corroborate the results of previous studies concerning self-directed learning, use of information technology, development of interests, and participation in a support group; others reveal limits when it comes to learning perseverance, pursuit of complex learning goals, school integration, and evaluation. The participants also spoke of family conflicts, parental control, negligence, and the influence of this experience on their views of society, work, the school system, and the role of government in education.
The subject of this article is the ontological theory of causality presented in Roman Ingarden's 'Controversy over the Existence of the World'. The peculiarity of this theory is discussed, and some differences between it and Hume's and Kant's theories are shown. The article presents Ingarden's definition of cause, the principles of causality, and rarely discussed problems connected with the analysis and division of events. The changes in the method of inquiry which occur in the third part of the 'Controversy over the Existence of the World' and which are related to the problem of causality are also examined.
The main problem of the paper is to what extent the political can become a subject of phenomenology as a transcendental philosophy. Its starting point is Ludwig Landgrebe's thesis that if phenomenology is to be a transcendental philosophy, it is - consistently thought out to an end - a transcendental theory of history. Referring to this thesis, the author poses the question: would the meaning of phenomenological transcendentalism not be consistently thought out to an end only if phenomenology proved its capacity as a transcendental theory of the political? In order to answer this critical question Landgrebe's thesis is interpreted from the perspective of Klaus Held's project of a 'phenomenology of the political world'. The author of this paper analyses the categorial relationship between both projects and poses two questions in this context: To what extent the problem of the political falls within the scope of phenomenology as a transcendental theory of history and how far the phenomenology of the political world can be understood as a transcendental theory of the political.
The article is devoted to the contemporary developments of the 16-century-old professional philosophy in Georgia. The term 'contemporary' here defines the period after 1953 in soviet and post-soviet Georgian history, when totalitarianism remained, albeit in its milder form. Along with the recognized philosophers (Sh. Nutsubidze, K. Bakradze, S. Danelia, S. Tsereteli, Z. Kakabadze, et al.) the achievements of young philosophers working in Georgia, as well as abroad, are shown in the article.

The main thesis to be explored is the undiscussed change in the sky-environment and the loss of sky-blue from our aesthetic reach. The concept of ‘living blue-beauty’ allows to introduce the dynamic sky-environment as a scientific subject and to use the findings to open inter- and transdisciplinary dialogue on anthropogenic sensory pollution. The observation of increasing changes up to the possible absence of this beauty also enables to address aesthetic and atmospheric (in-)sensibility and (co-)affection for fundamental environmental changes. In the context of an unprecedented epoch of the Anthropocene, concepts such as ‘everyday’ and ‘familiarity’ are being challenged. Furthermore, the sky-environment becomes revealed as vulnerable in its natural variability. On top of that, its threatened beauty justifies the pursuit of preventing its loss for the future.
On the basis of the analysis of some of Helmuth Plessner’s topics (expression of cry, corporeity, man in relations, situations and historicity) we try to introduce the specific approach of philosophical anthropology. Through the “eccentric positionality” as a core concept of Plessner’s anthropology we understand also his multi-layered and specific form of questioning, openness and indeterminacy of man (Ger. Unergründlichkeit). By the question of actuality and influence of anthropological initiative which arose in the 30’s in Germany we focus finally also on its relation to phenomenology as well as its roots in the philosophy of life.
The article discusses the problem of musical time presented in Edmund Husserl's On the Phenomenology of the Consciousness of Internal Time. The author of this article aims to describe the basic properties of immanent time on the basis of an analysis of the musical, resp. sound examples given by Husserl. Husserl's reflections on inner time-consciousness – preceding Roman Ingarden's examination of musical time included in The Work of Music and the Problem of Its Identity – constitute an important stage in the reflections on immanent time in a musical work. The article, as a study belonging to the phenomenology of music, is a critical analysis of the basic terms of phenomenology of time, such as original impressions, retention, protention, consciousness, perception, and intentionality.
The paper shows the development of Gaston Bachelard's thought from his early writings to later meditations on daydreams. Bachelard's 'scientific contribution' is characterized by his conception of applied rationalism, and his conviction that a true science must be justified by a rectification process. Theoretical rationalization must be necessarily applied in practice. Similar to an open science, the philosophy of science is open if it is able to say 'no' to old scientific and philosophical experience. This 'no' is not final but it is a sign of openness. Bachelard appears to be the predecessor of Popper's fallibilism. The 'second part' of Bachelardian philosophy concentrates on daydreams or reveries as a profound basis of the scientific knowledge. Our diurnal daydreams are not nocturnal dreams which are the subject of the psychoanalytical research. Daydreaming is a process of our imagination, working with 'oneiric' images. A psychoanalyst investigates the source of nocturnal dreams: our unconsciousness, our relations to the world and other people, etc. This is the horizontal point of view. The phenomenology leads us, according to Bachelard, to a different approach to 'oneiric' images - to a vertical and subjective point of view. The interpretation oriented on sources is transformed by daydreaming flowing from these very sources. The education is a convoluted process oscillating between an exact science and a subjective reverie.

This study is conceived as a partial contribution to the extensive literary-theoretical issues of the so-called poetics of the inexpressible, and at the same time to a reflection on the phenomenology of the French philosopher Jean-Luc Marion. The study is attentive to his inspirational concept of the saturated phenomenon and aims to explore its interpretive potential in relation to literary texts capturing the mystical experience. The literary-theoretical interpretation of the mystical experience is anchored in the Christian spiritual tradition, especially in the texts of St. Catharine of Genoa and St. Theresa of Avila, as well as in selected biblical narratives. The key to the interpretation is the concept of the so-called infused love – he understands it as the ontological heart of the mystical experience. In the context of Marion´s phenomenology of giveness, infused love be identified as „given“, i.e. what the mystic receives in abundance in the experience of theophany, more precisely to an extent that exceeds it and which intensity and distinctive quality force him to resign to the opportunity to speak about its experience in a humanly intelligible way. This knowledge motivates the expressive attainment of mystical writing as well as the creation of a special type of narrative.
The paper´s focus is on a proposed reconstruction of Norberg-Schulz’s phenomenological method of interpretation. This reconstruction derives from two of his relevant writings: the book Intentions of Architecture (1963) and the paper Kahn, Heidegger and the Language of Architecture (1979), while taking into the consideration the whole corpus of his completed theoretical, historiographical-architectural work. The reconstruction proceeds in two steps: first, we reconstruct Norberg-Schulz’s models of architectural work and following is the reconstruction of interpreting models. The proposed reconstruction also aims at introducing terminological instruments for both of the above-mentioned steps and aspects of interpretation. While preserving the continuity, we redefine basic Norberg-Schulz’s categories. This enables us to enter the discussion about two stages of Norberg-Schulz’s thinking and about two Norberg-Schulzs, respectively: structural-semiotic and phenomenological-existentialist ones.
