This text analyzes the supplementary volume of Husserl’s Crisis (vol. 29 of Husserliana), which includes preparatory and unfinished themes and manuscripts from parts 4 and 5 of that 1936 book. I pay attention to the ontology of the lifeworld as a fundamental science and highlight the prominent role of anthropology over psychology based on the notions of normality and abnormality. The text develops the phenomenological notion of “generativity” as an intersubjective and geo-socio-historical sense-constitution that takes place across generations, which I articulate around the concepts of homeworld and alienworld. Finally, I suggest an understanding of transcendental phenomenology as a normative and critical task that assumes responsibility for the becoming of humanity through teleological-historical reflection.
