Abstract
We would like to present Michel Foucault’s main thesis concerning his critique of the Husserlian notion of “intentionality” and — linked with this — the poststructuralist reformulation (proposed by Foucault) of the Heideggerian concept of “Being-in-the-World” (In-der-Welt-sein) into “Being-in-the-Language.” We describe the ways in which the World (Universum) for Foucault becomes the World of Language and how the consciousness as a place of constitution of objects is replaced by language.
