Fede e religione in Edmund Husserl = Faith and Religion in Edmund Husserl

Abstract

Reflection on the religious topic in Husserl and, in particular, on the phenomenological sense of faith and God, is not only of great interest for its reflection in the philosopher's speculative world, but also very important in order to fully understand the radical nature of Husserl's thought and his constant reference to the foundation. In this paper, our aim will be to highlight how decisive the religious in itself can be in the formation of the philosopher. In addition, we will try to demonstrate the thesis that precisely in his personal conversion to Christianity, in a rather obvious way Husserl brought out the sense of his philosophy as 'first science', i.e. that of a research free of presuppositions and radically directed towards the foundation.
