Is Surprise Necessarily Disappointing?
Résumé
In his 1963 essay on « The Concept of Reality and the Possibility of the Novel », Hans Blumenberg describes the vision of reality that we find in Husserl's phenomenology as follows: "The concept of reality as an 'open' context asserts the aesthetic quality of the novitas, of the surprising, unfamiliar element, while the 'guaranteed' reality does not really permit the unfamiliar and novelty […]. This transformation of the reality concept liberates that which is new from its dubious connotation; the terra incognita, the mundus novus become possible and act as a stimulation for human activity; to put it paradoxically: one can now expect surprise (die Überraschung wird erwartbar)".
