Summary: | In this essay, Rolf Kühn – in the following of Michel Henry, with whom he has collaborated for many years – sorts out the notions of «passibility» and «self-forgetfulness», that define the original manifestation of life, specifying the meaning they assume contrary to German idealism. «Passibility» (an expression that synthesizes «passivity» and «possi-bility») indicates absoluteness and the unintentionality of life’s appearing. The moment is a prereflexive one, that cannot be determined by thought, reconstructed, or «remembered», but rather represents the absolute «beginning» of every one of our thoughts and actions, a beginning that the Hegelian speculative synthesis has inevitably «forgotten». Here Rolf Kuehn shows how to reposition oneself inside of that dimension of thought grounded in the self-affirmation of life and how to follow all the (theoretical, practical, religious, etc.) implications arising from it, avoiding idealist «reduction» and any claimed «intentional» objectivization («self-forgetfulness»). |
