Husserl y la Crisis de la Cultura
ABSTRACT: The topic of the crisis of culture has been common among philosophers whose thought developed during the beginning of the 20th century, and especially among those who lived through the hard times of the interwar period. Husserl was no exception. I intend in this paper a modest approach to the growth of this subject in the founder of phenomenology. I will attempt to: (1) delimit what Husserl meant by culture; (2) identify the reasons for the crisis of culture; and (3) find a solution to this crisis.
La siguiente comunicación va a constar de tres secciones. En la primera, que se llevará la parte del león, voy a tratar de acotar aquello que Husserl entiende por cultura tanto en su sentido descriptivo como normativo. En la segunda, veremos por qué eso a lo que él hace referencia con semejante término se halla, en su opinión, en crisis. Por último, y ya en una brevísima tercera parte, se tratará de dar cuenta del camino que al decir de Husserl es necesario emprender para buscar una salida a semejante situación de crisis cultural.
1. La doble definición husserliana de cultura: descripción y normatividad
Creo que no es una mala estrategia a la hora de abordar qué entiende Husserl por cultura, el comenzar por la bipartición ontológica que hace del mundo en naturaleza (Natur) y espíritu (Geist). Son muchos los lugares donde se nos habla profusamente de ello. Haciendo un resumen sumario del tema, podríamos decir que el ámbito de la naturaleza es el de las cosas materiales, el de los entes vistos desde la pura exterioridad espaciotemporal, siendo la ley en base a la cual se rigen la necesidad causal. En contraposición a ello, el mundo del espíritu es aquel en el que lo esencial no viene dado por las relaciones exterior-causales que se dan entre los objetos, sino por la significatividad humana que conforma nuestro primer y primordial contacto con la realidad. Es decir, el mundo del espíritu es el mundo del significado, del sentido, aquello que constituye propiamente nuestro cosmos y nos es dado, en primera instancia, como un regalo por nuestros antepasados. Semejante mundo sólo puede brotar del yo y su vida de conciencia o, mejor dicho, de un yo (no entro aquí en la distinción yo, hombre, persona, subjetividad trascendental) y una vida de conciencia que se encuentran siempre en constante interrelación con otros yoes.
This essay argues that the film Bridesmaids transcends traditional representations of feminine desire that exhibits women as spectacles of erotic pleasure, through the symbolic reversal of gender identity in cinematic spaces. By discussing feminist perspectives on cinema, along with psychoanalytic theory and ideological narratives of female image, this essay will prove Bridesmaids embodies a new form of feminine desire coded in the space of the comedic film industry.
A major element in the baseball evolution in the Dominican Republic is the socio-economic environment. The island consisteds of mostly workers of the sugar mills, which is completely seasonal harvest. During the winter months, also known as the Dead season, the workers did not have much to do. Baseball became the recreation of choice as practically every man and boy picked up a bat and ball to enjoy the game during their ...

On November 29, 1947, the United Nations voted for a partition resolution that led to the establishment of the nation of Israel in May, 1948. This was great news for Jews in Palestine and the diaspora as it meant the fulfillment of the quest for the rebirth of their nation in their previous homeland after many years of wandering (Pappe, 2006, p. 12). However, their Palestinian Arab counterparts opposed to the establishment from the start felt cheated by the international community and remained categorical that the final answer to the Jewish problem would only be solved in blood and fire (Karsh, 2002, p. 8).
Throughout the country young men and women are losing their priority for an education. To attend a university should be a highly cherished privilege, and it should be an even greater honor to play athletics for the university. Therefore, the writer supports the decision that the “student” comes before “athlete” in student-athlete. Playing for pay should be considered a job for “professionals”. In the rulebook, the NCAA views college athletes as armatures. This statement sums it up best. When athletes go to college, not all of them go in with the mindset that athletics is going to be their future job....

Baseball has for a long time been a staple in the American sporting culture as baseball and America have grown up together. Exploring the different ages and stages of American society, reveals how baseball has served as both a public reflection of, and vehicle for, the evolution of American culture and society. Many American ways including our landscapes, traditional songs, and pastimes all bear the mark of a game that continues to be identified with America's morals and aspirations. In this paper I will be addressing the long residuals of baseball as it specifically relates to the emergence of the American nation and its principles of nationalism. This is a particularly important issue because baseball seems to be a perfect representative system having many comparative analogies to the larger system of development, America. Since the sport first emerged, baseball and America have shared the same values, responded to the same events, and struggled with the same social and economic issues. To learn of the ideals concerning the sport of baseball in America, is to know the heart and mind of America.

In this period, there are the bases for the creation of a new movement that will culminate during the 14th century. This particular view is enclosed in a sub-movement called humanism: humanists encouraged to put in the centre of the universe the man. The man is the main centre of the universe and of the thoughts. In this period intellectuals obtained answers in the works of the ancient classics, they embraced the classic culture, especially the ancient Greek culture, leading to the birth of a new science: The Philology, whose main learner was Lorenzo Valla. Classic themes are the inspiration for the artists: from poets to painters, they are all under this influence.
The damage from hurricanes can be from the flooding, storm surges, or even the winds. The damage ranges from uprooting trees to creating structural damage. Hurricanes can also knock down power lines causing a loss of power and phone services. Winds from a hurricane have the potential to throw cars around if they are strong enough
Husserl dubbed his famous transcendental phenomenology as the “new, twentieth century Cartesianism” and quoted Descartes on the insistence that the only fruitful renaissance is considered as one that reawakens. Husserl discussed Descartes in almost all his published works during his mature period. How can people characterize the Cartesianism that is found on Husserl’s Cartesian meditations? One recent scholar made the argument that Husserl derived one idea from Descartes that can he altered profoundly. The deepest affinity that exists between Husserl and Descartes is their common diagnosis regarding the state of affairs regarding the contemporary sciences that were found in their respective times. Husserl found a rather deep affinity with the optimism and pessimism that were associated with Descartes. He shared the pessimism regarding the then state of science and the optimism of the unlimited prospects of a reformed science and the role philosophy would play in such reforms. In recent philosophy of mind, phenomenology is prized as the basic foundation that philosophy is founded on, as opposed to disciplines such as metaphysics, epistemology and ethics. The methods used in the characterization of this disciplines were debated widely by Husserl as well as his successors, debates that continue to
Culture may be defined as the sum totaltotal of non-biological activities of a people. For anthropologists like Marvin Harris (1974). Culture is directly related to concrete material conditions of existence. It is a set of altitudinal and behavioral tools as well as a map of adapting to one’s environment. Culture is thus essentially adaptive. Following the concept of cultural relativism espoused by Margaret Mead (1968) it is the view of this article that culture must be seen asbe specific and valid in particular circumstances with value judgement as to its relative significance to other groups, even within the same nation-state or society. The point that is therefore being made is that there are some particularities of culture that characterize
