Wilk, Rafał Kazimierz2026-04-302026-04-302007Dissertationes Paulinorum, 2007, Tom 16, s. 73-88.1230-2910https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/43915The main goal of the article was to present the phenomenology of the self according to Fr. Robert Sokołowski. The central point of his analyses makes description of the “empirical ego” and the “transcendental ego”. According to Sokołowski a human ego, on the one hand it is an ordinary part of the world, one of many things that inhabit it. It occupies space, endures through time, has physical and psychic features, and interacts causally with other things in the world; it reacts like any living organism. If we were to take the self simply as one of the things in the world, we would be treating it as what can be called the “empirical ego”. On the other hand, this very same self can also be played off against the world: it is the center of disclosure to whom the world and everything in it manifest themselves. It is the agent of truth, the one responsible for judgments and verifications, the perceptual and cognitive “owner” of the world. When considered in this manner, it is no longer simply a part of the world: it is what is called the “transcendental ego” The empirical and the transcendental egos are not two entities; they are one and the same being, but considered in two ways.polCC-BY-SA - Uznanie autorstwa - Na tych samych warunkachludzkie „ja” w fenomenologiifenomenologiafilozofia„ja” ludzkie„ja” empiryczne„ja” transcendentalnespołeczny wymiar „ja” transcendentalnegotranscendencjacielesnośćfenomenologia „ja”human “self” in phenomenologyphenomenologyphilosophyhuman “self”empirical “self”transcendental “self”social dimension of the transcendental “self”transcendencecorporealityphenomenology of the “self”Article
