En torno a la singladura filosófica y fenomenológica de Marc Richir

Abstract

This article outlines Marc Richir’s
intellectual path and ends up clarifying some of
his fundamental concepts. We, at first, allude to
Richir’s scientific activities, fundamentally re
garding physics. After his investigations in phys
ics he turns to philosophy. His interest is
quickly focused on phenomenology; neverthe
less, he decides to take a meandering loop
through German idealism, which he deeply
studied. His work divides itself in those subjects
that are strictly phenomenological, and those
that tackle various symbolical institutions, but
always relying on phenomenological grounds.
The topics that are strictly phenomenological
are sorted out according to three successive re
casting or reworking of the foundational mate
rials or re-foundations (1. abstract recasting
from the transcendental phenomenological
counterpart of German idealism, 2. recasting
through the phenomenology of intersubjectivity,
and 3. recasting within the materials of the phe
nomenology of phantasia (and affectivity)). His
phenomenological works are divided in various
periods that do not always necessarily corre
spond to a new recasting but consist sometimes
on a mere development of the topics involved in
each of them). Once Richir’s philosophical path
has been drawn, we explain some related con
cepts pertaining to Richir’s first recasting of
phenomenology. We end up referring to Richir’s
self-presentation in the preface of his work Phé
noménologie en Esquisses (2000).
