The article focuses on the notion of human being as it is expounded in the late phenomenology of Edmund Husserl, who represents the conversation between two prominent - Austrian and German - philosophical traditions. Husserl argued against objectivism of natural sciences and psychologism, while proposing phenomenological approach to understanding human mind. In his theory, the objects of the world are becoming proactive phenomena of pure consciousness (transcendental subjectivity). Husserl introduced the concept of life-world, which allowed him to account for intersubjective communication, society and history in general. The author, then, discusses criticisms of the phenomenological approach to the subject, which is voiced in post-structuralist philosophy of history by Michel Foucault.
