Single Idea 22209
[filed under theme 7. Existence / A. Nature of Existence / 3. Being / a. Nature of Being
]
Full Idea
We could refer to our goal as the winning of a new region of Being, the distinctive character of which has not yet been defined.
Gist of Idea
Our goal is to reveal a new hidden region of Being
Source
Edmund Husserl (Ideas: intro to pure phenomenology [1913], II.2.033)
Book Ref
Husserl,Edmund: 'Ideas: general introduction to pure phenomenology', ed/tr. Boyce Gibson,W [Routledge 2012], p.61
A Reaction
The obvious fruit of this idea, I would think, is Heidegger's concept of Da-sein, which claims to be a distinctively human region of Being. I'm not sure I can cope with the claim that Being itself (a very broad-brush term) has hidden regions.
