More philosophy:You are, by the way, wrong to equate phenomenology and existentialism. Husserl's original project was "essentialist", an attempt find more secure foundations for the sciences. Heidegger shifted the attention to the human situation, and was followed by some others, notably Sartre, but there were others who remained loyal to Husserl's project... Heidegger wrote a book that has been translated "Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics". Basically, it focuses on the necessity of constituting the lived world in the productive imagination, and questions whether or not that process is as automatic and unproblematic as Kant seems to assume. The center of Heidegger's concern is that the world itself arises out of our meeting with Being (the thing-in- itself generically), and his belief that our relationship to Being has become perturbed, with consequences that harm the world and society. Of course, the form his diagnosis took was reactionary, fearing that we were becoming alienated from our instincts (to simplify), and that led him to spend time as a Nazi...But his work is still interesting...
