    About this ebook

    Joseph G. Trabbic Ph.D. considers a proposal by French philosopher Jean-Luc Marion, who writes in Husserl's tradition. The article appears in 2021 in The American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly, under the full title, "Jean-Luc Marion and the Phenomenologie de la Donation as a First Philosophy".
    Trabbic asks the reader to recognize a possibility.
    Jean-Luc Marion's philosophical identification of givenness, as the first philosophy guiding phenomenology, may be important, even though it does not make sense.
    Well, maybe it does make sense, if one imagines that phenomenology situates science, rather than the undeniably metaphysical world of our everyday lives.
    This suggestion is formulated in Comments on Mark Spencer's Essay (2021) "The Many Phenomenological Reductions", which is listed as required reading.
    Marion, Trabbic and Spencer do not mention science at all, giving these comments full reign.
    Phenomenological reduction situates empirical science. Givenness places phenomenological reduction into perspective.
    Today, we live in laboratories.
    Both Trabbic and Spencer stand at a door that phenomenology creatively unlocks.

      Notes on Text

      This work comments on an article by Joseph G. Trabbic, Ph.D., appearing in 2021 in the American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly (volume 95, pages 389-409). The full title is "Jean-Luc Marion and the Phenomenologie de la Donation as First Philosophy". These comments rely on a prior commentary on phenomenology, noted in the recommendations. Spencer mentions Jean-Luc Marion's contribution to phenomenology. My goal is to comment on these philosophical explorations of phenomenology using the category-based nested form and other relational models within the tradition of Charles Peirce.

      ‘Words that belong together’ are denoted by single quotes or italics.

      Prerequisites: A Primer on the Category-Based Nested Form, A Primer on Sensible and Social Construction

      Recommended: Instructor's Guide to An Archaeology of the Fall, Comments on Jacques Maritain's Book (1935) Natural Philosophy

      Recommended for phenomenology: The current commentary fits into three works and develops themes accordingly.

      0001 Twenty-five years after French phenomenologist, Jean-Luc Marion, publishes an eye-catching essay, titled "Phenomenologie de la Donation et Philosophie Premiere", Joseph Trabbic attempts to make sense of Marion's struggle.

      Trabbic's exploration divides into five sections, of uneven lengths. The introduction and conclusion each contain three paragraphs. The middle sections contain ten, then twenty, then ten paragraphs, respectively. Amazingly, Trabbic reaches an impasse
