Abstract

The author examines the concept of new phenomenology based on a thesis that the history of phenomenology teaches us that progressive steps in philosophy occur by means of treason rather than faithfulness, and through unique disobedient thinking rather than loyal discipleship. The novelty of Hermann Schmitz’s phenomenology is founded on the insight that the whole philosophical tradition suffers from psychologism, and that its historical duration reaches further back than the late nineteenth century. Although in Schmitz’s phenomenology we can discuss about anti­psychologism, the author points out that it presupposes the foundations of phenomenology on in natural attitude. The second part of the paper questions whether a new phenomenology could be interpreted as the teaching on authenticity which in Heidegger’s Being and Time had paid a tribute to the formalism of its transcendental thinking.
