Notes
In his concluding section the author even states that “subjectivity must be understood as a concrete anthropological unity” (p. 132), without explaining what he means by this. How is one to understand the usage of the term “anthropological” with regard to the roots of phenomenological research in “human activities,” and how is one to connect them with Lotz’ interest in Lévinas and Husserl? Given that neither Husserl’s nor Lévinas’ work is traditionally considered as anthropological, a strong claim like that calls for further explanation. The question of how we can understand transcendental subjectivity as an “anthropological unit” remains open.
Yet, Lotz repeats himself: on page 67 one finds almost identical text-parts from paragraph 2.1 (cf. p. 45).
