"Ontology of living labour and the transcendental-phenomenological reduction"
by Angus, Ian H; Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy (2024)
Abstract
From the 19th century to the present, philosophy has grappled with the domination of received form over ongoing experience and has proposed a return to the concrete in order to ally itself with social and intellectual liberation. My recent book, Groundwork of Phenomenological Marxism, identifies three historical phases of this task. The first, associated with Karl Marx, takes political economy as its object and projects the liberation of labour. The second, associated with Edmund Husserl, takes mathematical physics as its object and projects the liberation of philosophy and the human sciences from objectivism. The third takes ecology as its object and projects its central role in the rehabilitation of experienced nature from its objectivistic reduction to a resource—whose latest critical phase consists in the contemporary war between planetary technology and place-based Indigeneity.
