Palanen siitä, miksi fenomenologia on tärkeää

Osuin huomiota herättävään pointtiin, jonka haluan jakaa. Olen sen verran puhki, etten jaksa analysoida tarkemmin, joten jätän sen lukijan tehtäväksi. Heideggerin Zollikon -seminaarien esipuheessa Marianne Boss-Linsmayer ja Medard Boss kirjoittavat Heideggerin teorian hyödyntämisestä seuraavasti:
In this new and alternative view, human existence in its unique way, like everything else in our world, no longer appears as something present as an object within a pregiven world space. Rather, human existence can be viewed as being, which cannot be objectified and which consists of an openness to the world and of the capacity to perceive what it encounters in that world. Through this openness, human existence itself, as well as any other given facts of our world, can come to their presence and unfolding. The proper task of human Dasein is the event of letting-be what emerges into the openness of being. Human existence is necessary for this event, which constitutes its proper and most profound meaning. Thus, it also becomes clear that this meditative, alternative, and new way of thinking may also disclose meaning and purpose to the artof healing.
Many people who are initially touched by this new and different way of thinking are stricken with great panic. They fear that if they let themselves really be touched by this thinking they will have to abandon the time-honored definition of the human being as an Ego, as a center of personality, and as a separate bodily organism. They believe they will completely lose themselves thereby. As a result, many of them quickly take refuge in the seemingly secure Freudian view of a "psychic apparatus." Yet in doing so they forget that it was Freud himself who called his notion of a "psychic apparatus* a mere "fiction" which only pretends to give human thinking a solid foundation.
Heidegger would not have devoted as much time and energy to instructing medical doctors as he did in the Zollikon Seminars had he not thought his new and alternative thinking—meditative thinking—was of essential benefit to all medical therapies. Indeed, if the therapists let themselves be imbued in body and soul with this "new and alternative" way of thinking, they themselves would experience its benefits, primarily  in the form of self-transformation. From then on, they would understand themselves as individuals who are called upon to serve all beings including patients, who in their openness to the world encounter the therapist as a place for self-disclosure.
When they are "together with" the therapist in Da-seinanalysis situations, the patients are allowed to assume and to perform all their pregiven possibilities of behavior in a reflective and responsible way. This is the essential meaning and the inherent goal of all medical therapies, whether they are physical or psychotherapeutic in nature.
Fenomenologialla olisi siis paljon annettavaa mm. psykologialle, psykiatrialle ja muille käyttäytymistieteille. Kirjoitan tällä hetkellä itse tekstiä oman kuoleman ymmärtämisestä ja hahmottamisesta kehollisuuden kautta, ja sekin aihe voisi hyödyttää mm. kuolemansairaiden hoitoa sen kautta, että hoitajat ymmärtäisivät hoidettavien kokemusta.
