A Reading of Heidgger Using Husserl’s Narrative of Intentionality.

n most of his writings about the influence of Husserl’s views on his thought and his indebtedness to his works. He considers the clarification of his philosophical meaning to be the main problem of Phenomenology and characterized his work in terms of Phenomenology in the style of “thinking with Husserl against him”. On the other hand, intentionality doctrine, which is Brentano’s great and important legacy, is the main part of Husserl’s Phenomenology. Intentionality means that consciousness is focused on something and every thought or idea is directed towards something. By transcending the issues of consciousness, Heidegger’s intentionality ties it to lived experience and transforms it into “life toward something”. This article is an analytical account of Heidegger’s critique and rethinking of Husserl’s intentionality; and discusses how Heidegger, according to the works of his master in his lectures and writings about intentionality, extends his ontological circle, and also thinks against him while his progress is in line with Husserl’s plan. The result of Heidegger’s rethinking is to replacement the Dasein by consciousness and intentionality, the path to understanding Dasein’s being-in-the-world. Accordingly, in order to develop Heidegger’s method, intentionality explains Husserl’s narrative as “being-with”, and emphasizes the understanding of intentionality based on the transcendence of Dasein’s role.
