THE SENSE OF THINGS - ANGELA ALES BELLO GEBUNDEN

This book proposes a new interpretative key for reading and overcoming the binary of idealism
and realism. It takes as its central issue for exploration the way in which human consciousness
unfolds  i.e.  through the relationship between the I and the world-a field of phenomenological
investigation that cannot and must not remain closed within the limits of its own disciplinary
borders. The book focuses on the question of realism in contemporary debates  ultimately
dismantling prejudices and automatisms that one finds therein. It shows that at the root of the
controversy between realism and idealism there often lie equivocations of a semantic nature and
by going back to the origins of modern phenomenology it puts into play a discussion of the
Husserlian concept of transcendental idealism. Following this path and neutralizing the extreme
positions of a critical idealism and a naïve realism  the book proposes a transcendental
realism: the horizon of a dynamic unity that embraces the process of cognition and that grounds
the relation  and not the subordination  of subject and object. The investigation of this
reciprocity allows the surpassing of the limits of the domain of knowing  leading to
fundamental questions surrounding the ultimate sense of things and their origin.
