Collective Intentions and the Phenomenology of Time – The Theory of Non-Domination in Communication

Abstract

The paper discusses some conceptual problem of communication in non-domination terms of the republican theory of freedom in comparison to Husserlian phenomenology of time. While our mental constructs and imagination are largely shaped by past-oriented narratives of grand cultural patterns, in the modern world we are close relatives of Heraclitus not Parmenides. As a matter of fact we must have strict and certain knowledge (our personal and subjective, too), but we can only have a secure one. The search for security is our response to diagnosed risk factors. Objectivity and intersubjectivity of knowledge is gained by conducting and futurological work, and not through in-depth in historical analyses. This paper intends to be an answer to these socio-economic processes of the modern world on neutral territory of phenomenology of time. The paper investigates the question about creation of social sense of communication in social time of phenomenology of consciousness of time.
