Notes

  1. Edmund Husserl, Analysen zur passiven Synthesis, 1918–1926 (The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1966), Hua XI, p. 150 et seq. where Husserl expressly says that the feeling is not the “lacquer” on the representation, not only are there no “pure” representations, that is, free from an affective “halo,” but the affective halo or aura contributes to determining the appearance of the representation itself. See also V. Costa, L’estetica trascendentale fenomeno-logica. Sensibilità e razionalità nella filosofia di Edmund Husserl (Milan: Vita e Pensiero, 1999).

  14. We must admit that a certain amount is owed to Scheler in these reflections of Husserl at the end of the twenties, if only for the “emotionaler Antwortsreaktion” that Scheler speaks about in his “Formalismus,” Refer to Max Scheler, Der formalismuns in der Ethik und die materiale Wertethik (Bern und Munich: Franke Vrlg., 1980).

  18. Vincent von Weizsaecker, Der Gestaltkreis, Stuttgart 1950. Here he, through an analysis of movement and perception, draws out the concept of “intrication” (Verschraenkung) of the one in the other; so in the moment in which I move I make a perception appear and in the moment I perceive a movement is manifest. The perception finally becomes “self-movement.” See pp. 19–21.

  25. “Genetic evolutionistic” medicine considers disease to be an expression of the individual’s limited ability to adapt to his environment, due to some variation in the genes that control single paths of a variety of homeostatic devices. Needless to say another science that appears in this particular panorama is that of “pharmacogenomics” seeking to provide more specific, targeted and effective drags. See B. Childs, Genetic Medicine. A Logic of Disease, op. cit. and also an article by W. Sadée, called “Pharmacogenomics,” in the British Medical Journal no. 319, 1999, pp. 196–98.

  28. Naturally we can say that the sense implies the knowing subject that such sense reveals, but not less the structure implies the natural subject whose acts are interpretable in terms of sense. It is not our intention to go further into this question here. On the subject see Dario Sacchetti, L’uomo antibiologico, Milan 1990.
