Abstract

The theme of “Husserl and Dewey” could hardly have been outside of researchers’ interests in connection with the contribution of both outstanding thinkers of the 20th century to the determination of the ways and perspectives of development of all contemporary philosophy and culture. We can mention the names of James W. Garrison and Emanuel I. Shargel,1 who stressed the internal pithy similarities between Husserl’s and Dewey’s philosophies. The problems of the existential nature of human experience and its horizontal structure were understood by Dewey and Husserl within the context of “life-world.”

  17. To tell the truth, Dewey touched on the question of the environment as the source of experience. The elements of the environment present everything that the individual interacts with. “The environment, in other words, is whatever conditions interact with personal needs, desires, purposes, and capacities to create the experience which is had” (Dewey, J. Experience and Education, The Kappa Delta Pi Lecture Series, Macmillan Publishing Company, 1938, p. 44). And, nevertheless, this important notion was not sufficiently taken as a theme by the American philosopher.
