ABSTRACT
At first glance, phenomenology as a philosophical movement born in the 20th century seems to be essentially involved in pure epistemological questions, thus the original impulse in this direction produced by Husserl’s tremendous body of work. Texts are all selected as testimonies to the contingent situation stabilized in the past: writing is conceived as an absolutization of the individual memory. Reading is supposed to understand what is not immediately apparent, what seems to have been forgotten, even if the events and experiences that are investigated in order to be clarified happened recently. In other words, the interpretation must be contrasted with the conventional history of texts and events. This depends not only on the chronological historical time, but also on the different strengths of tradition and political attitudes inside the production of critical knowledge.
