- Abstract
In the present study, I would like to analyse four different views on collective identity and decision-making from a phenomenological perspective: the conception of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Paul Ricoeur, and László Tengelyi. I would like to show that we 126 can already find an account of narrative identity in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl, according to whom “the ego constitutes itself so to speak in the unity of a story” (Cartesian Meditations, §37). But in Husserl’s opinion, the ego also constitutes itself necessarily as an intersubjective being – and in the end, Husserl attributes a narrative identity to whole communities also. We can find a more specific idea of collective identity and decisionmaking in the philosophy of Heidegger, who attaches fundamental importance to moods in this regard, and to collective moods in particular. But the first phenomenological author, who analysed the problem of collective identity and decision-making in a really detailed manner, embedded into the historical, cultural, and practical context, was Paul Ricoeur. Lastly, I try to demonstrate that László Tengelyi, and his concept of “destinal (or fateful) events” (Schicksalsereignisse, sorsesemény) made a substantial contribution to the theory of narrative identity, even at the collective level. In my opinion, all these philosophical treatments of collective identity and decision-making could be fruitfully used in contemporary positive scientific research on the topic.
