Does Seifert's Personalism Hold Water?

  • Rocco Buttiglione

Abstract

Does Seifert's personalism hold water? (1) The question is rather provocative but my answer will be clear: yes, it does. Not only it holds water but can be continued and stands in need of being continued. This paper will put Seifert within the phenomenological tradition and in particular within the tradition of realistic phenomenology. Then we will describe Seifert's discovery and its meaning for contemporary philosophy. In the end, we will defend why we think it can be continued and stands in need of being continued and in which direction it should be continued.
