Abstract

This chapter delves into the foundations of phenomenology, commencing with Descartes’ instantaneous assertion of absolute certainty: “I think, therefore I am.” It underscores the necessity for courage and preparedness to confront one’s own feelings and thoughts when grappling with challenging issues. Simultaneously, it acknowledges the difficulty in comprehending the subjective experiences of others, a pivotal matter elaborated on in Part 1. Relationship issues often stem from unconscious assumptions (conjectures) regarding each other’s intentions and actions. Phenomenology endeavors to unearth the underlying causes of such issues by probing into the absolute certainties of individual subjectivity. This elucidation encompasses how each individual is intuitively aware of intentional and unintentional actions. The distinction between intentional and unintentional (involuntary) acts as understood by individuals in relation to each other is elucidated in phenomenology’s theory of intersubjectivity.
