Abstract

We present to the readers a unique, never-before-published material—fragments of sketches for lectures that N. Motroshilova read in the 1980s in Riga, in the circle of Riga phenomenologists. In these notes to the lectures, Nelli Motroshilova thoroughly comments on the basic concepts of phenomenology, which are considered in the context of the evolutionary development of this direction of philosophy of the 20th century. Theoretically, N. Motroshilova does not just research phenomenology, but develops her own, author’s vision of its theoretical problems. The significance of this work by N. Motroshilova is difficult to overestimate, since it is written in a rather rare genre of detailed philosophical commentary. N. Motroshilova, considering Husserl’s ideas, ranks with the most prominent authors of philosophical commentaries: Proclus, Thomas Aquinas, Leibniz, Zeller, Losev, Asmus, Bibikhin, Spiegelberg, Deleuze, etc. The text of the manuscript contains a “living” process of reflection on the problems of phenomenology. N. Artemenko and her students have been working on decoding and digitizing the material for many years. The final version of the text of the manuscript was proofread and edited by N. Motroshilova, but her premature death did not allow this project to be brought to a separate book publication.
