Zurück zum Anfang - Back to the Beginning
The Hyperborean School of Phenomenology is a collaborative student research and study group dedicated to the discipline of Phenomenology as originally developed by Edmund Husserl. The purpose of the school is to introduce students to the full depth and meaning of the Phenomenological attitude as an original ground for philosophical thinking.
The Hyperborean School of Phenomenology
"We are Hyperboreans; we know very well how far off we live. "
Friedrich Nietzche
Nietzche was no Phenomenologist, and yet we journey with him to far away lands. The ὑπερβόρεοι are a mythical people who dwell beyond the North Wind in the sacred precinct of Apollo, the god of distance. Sheltered from the known world by snow-clad mountains cloaked in mystery and legend, we Phenomenologists choose to live among the ὑπερβόρεοι.

July 11, 2024
"The interest for phenomenology and for philosophy founded phenomenologically has seen an unmistakable expansion in recent years. The number of researchers working independently in domains accessible to diverse phenomenological methods has rapidly grown. More and more one sees the wish to deal not only with properly philosophical problems but more so to apply such problems to phenomenological analyses and clarifications of essence in the interest of a ground laying of the extra-philosophical sciences. In connection with this, thereby, a lively desire has manifested itself in many circles to become familiar with the peculiarity of the phenomenological method and the range of its accomplishments."
This quote is taken from the forward to the first volume of the Yearbook for Philosophy and Phenomenological Research (Jarhbuch für Philosophie und Phänomenologische Forschung) published in 1913. We 21st century researchers join in this "lively desire...to become familiar with the peculiarity of the phenomenological method". The accompanying video is your introduction to the seminar, the texts, and the task of Phenomenology we will explore and share together.
