Kotsiuba M. Phenomenologically-anthropological clarification of the experience of ethical

The thesis is devoted to make clearer the relation of experience of ethical to conditio humana by means of phenomenological philosophy (first of all its French tradition). French tradition of phenomenology which arises as a peculiar form of anthropology, since sn descriptions of experience it explains the conditions of actual human way of being. After that, the phenomenological understanding of experience was explored and the constitutive meaning of «alien» and «other» for experience is emphasized. The thesis undelines the difference of the givenness in the experiences of the «alien» and the «other» from the givenness of the Other. This opened an opportunity for the reformulation of the «experience of the Other» into the «experience of ethical». The essence of such an experience is the situation of meeting with the Other, which is rooted in conditio humana. In addition, it has been argued that this kind of phenomenological ethical experience is pre-predicative. Further development was gained by understanding of the Other as configurations of the field of perception in structuralism and post-structuralism (G. Deleuze, J. Derrida).
