Bezdnata na samostta i otblyasatsite na absolyutnoto

After the end of the era of absolute idealism philosophy is falling into a sort of identity crisis which requires the constant rethinking of its essence as a specific type of knowledge and also of its subject and method. As a result of the attempts to save philosophy meta-physics was replaced by ontology the absolute - by the attempts of an open system and/or integral thinking and the place of the identity of truth good and beautiful were taken by axiology. Consequently notions as world horizon life life world self alterity and values became of crucial importance. In this context the author argues several interrelated theses: Firstly that in post-Husserlian phenomenology especially in its French versions a reinterpretation of the notion of life world based on Heidegger Being in the World is done which turns in a sense against Husserl's transcendental justification of phenomenology. Secondly this reinterpretation gradually leads to a departure from Heidegger's ontology towards the practical philosophy and axiology respectively towards the values denied by Heidegger. Thirdly the living world becomes a crossroads between the problems of theoretical and practical philosophy as it stands at the center of value discourse.
