The modern European sees himself as an individual subject with a private inner world. What remains as the external world between such inner worlds is conveyed to him by the natural sciences. However, individuality is only possible on foundations that he disregards due to a one-sided objectification stemming from antiquity and later times. Body, bodily communication, affective involvement, significant situations, feelings as atmospheres, non-spatial areas, and subjective facts are part of this. These foundations are made transparent and connected to the world as a field of possible isolation, to the person, to law, morality, and religion. The New Phenomenology aims to make human beings aware of their real lives, meaning that it seeks to clear away historically shaped artifices to reveal the involuntary.
