Aproximaciones al concepto de mundo en Husserl

The world is a difficult concept to interpret in Husserl’s phenomenology. On the one hand, such a concept is characterized as the life-world or the world of culture in their fullest sense (Husserl, 2008a, 288; HUA VI, 191). This world can be thought in plural although, however, it exhibits at the same time, both, a horizontal manner of being and an A Priori nature, which, in sum, makes the world possess a progression and unity in front of which “the plural makes no sense” (Husserl, 2008a, 185; HUA VI, 146). On the other hand, the world is also characterized as a subjective acquisition and, for that reason, it implies a dynamic constitutional network which comes to be what it is from the progression from a pre-world [Vorwelt] to a world [Welt] (Walton, 2015; Bower, 2015). Therefore, Husserl’s world appears under different determinations that may even seem contradictory (Carr, 1970). In this work, using a differentiation made by Walton (2015) between constitutional and given, I propose that it is possible to reconstruct the concept of world and, thereby, to clarify its “problematic” (Carr, 1970). Thus, I will show that this problematic arises due to the lack of differentiation between the diverse stratum of the world’s constitution, which articulates themselves into genetic andgenerative investigations that express different levels of analysis of that concept. I will conclude that without making this distinction, which leads to different analysis levels, we will obtain an insufficient comprehension of the concept, such as Husserl developed it throughout different moments of his work. El mundo es un concepto de difícil interpretación en la fenomenología de Husserl. Por un lado, dicho concepto es caracterizado como el mundo de la vida o el mundo de la cultura en su sentido más pleno (Husserl, 2008a, 288; HUA VI, 191). Este mundo puede ser pensado en el plural aunque, sin embargo, exhibe al mismo tiempo tanto un modo de ser que es de carácter horizóntico, como otro de carácter apriórico, los que, en suma, lo hacen poseer una progresión y unidad ante las cuales “el plural carece de sentido” (Husserl, 2008a, 185; HUA VI, 146). Por otro lado, el mundo también es caracterizado como siendo una adquisición subjetiva y, por consiguiente, implica un red de constitución dinámica que llega a ser lo que es a partir de la progresión desde un premundo [Vorwelt] a un mundo [Welt] (Walton, 2015; Bower, 2015). De tal manera, el mundo en Husserl aparece bajo distintas determina
