Creativity and Dynamism contra Idealism Imagination in Anna Teresa Tymieniecka’s Concept of Phenomenology of Life
Abstract
Anna Teresa Tymieniecka’s (1923—2014) concept of phenomenology of life appears as a cosmological perspective of the development of phenomenology in general. Although Polish philosopher elaborated this conception in polemic with Edmund Husserl’s phenomenological view and in co-operation with the natural sciences, she tried to keep all the gains of classical phenomenology. Ultimately, she subjected the transcendental consciousness to verification, pointing its stability as a result of the intentionality of cognition, which Husserl considered as the constitutive function of the subject. By changing the perspective, Tymieniecka was striving to demonstrate that the subject — the living human being — gives the world the sense of meaning and knows it as originally inspired and motivated by his imagination. Therefore, the
creative imagination — Imaginatuio Creatrix — should be established as a dynamic source of the constitution of the human world.
Keywords
Imaginatio Creatix; the creative act; the logos of life; the transcendental consciousness; the intentionality
