Abstract:
It is appropriate to say that actions are something objective and physical. We, as bystanders, can inspect and evaluate an action by certain common standards. In addition, at least in typical cases, an action brings about a change in the physical world. At the same time, there is a sense in which actions are not totally physical. They are something that we, as agents, can do or perform. To deal with such a twofold nature of actions within the framework of constitutive analysis, Husserl suggests to distinguish action [Handlung] and acting [Handeln]. The aim of the present talk is to explicate and assess this idea of him. First, I give an overview of Husserl's general idea of constitutive analysis officially proposed in his Ideas I (1913). Second, drawing on unpublished manuscripts of Husserl from 1908 to 1914, I reconstruct the constitutive analysis of action in accordance with that general idea. Third, with reference to some contemporary discussions of actions, I point out merit and limit of Husserl's position.
