Pensando a Steinbock desde Blumenberg

This article explores Anthony J. Steinbock’s generative phenomenology through Hans Blumenberg’s anthropological phenomenology. To do so, I first examine the concept of lifeworld in Husserl, tracing its genealogy from neo-Kantianism to static and genetic phenomenology. Then, I outline the main features of Steinbock’s proposal of a generative phenomenology, which discloses the homeworlds and alienworlds permeating the lifeworld. The core argument of the article proposes that generative phenomenology can only be fully developed through Blumenberg’s insights on the fracture of original lifeworlds and anthropogenesis. Unlike Husserl’s logical motivations for bracketing and leaving the lifeworld, Blumenberg claims that this departure results from external crises, requiring a concrete conjunction of phenomenology and anthropology.
