M, this video that you have linked to is an important lecture for many reasons but the most resonant point for me was the call for phenomenological re-search into those aspects/event-ualities of life that aren’t in the grasp of calculative-reasoning.
Could not agree more. Some would argue though that phenomenology can’t escape the methodological paradigm of “intentionality”. Harman, for example doesn’t even begin to entertain a non-intentional phenomenological practice. I argue, contra those who would attempt to limit phenomenology, that there is much to be said for a deconstruction of the metaphysics of intentionally in terms of how physical sensation and non-intentional bodily experience affects us. Reasoning is an aspect of experience not its core operation – as I have tried to argue before re: the difference between epistemic relations (such as inference) and structural/physical relations (such as sensation).
