Einführung in die Phänomenologie

‘Phenomenology’ offers a concise yet captivating introduction to one of the most significant philosophical movements of the 20th century – a field that continues to evolve and become increasingly diverse to this day. At the same time, it is a challenging subject whose concepts are not always easily accessible. This vivid work conveys the central ideas of phenomenology and the arguments of its most important representatives, such as Husserl, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. Prof. Dr. Dan Zahavi, one of the leading experts in this field, explores the following fundamental questions: What is meant by a phenomenological analysis? What methodological principles underlie phenomenology? How does it deal with concepts such as intentionality, corporeality, intersubjectivity and lifeworld? How do classical phenomenological approaches relate to current debates, e.g. in the cognitive sciences? This book is an ideal starting point for anyone looking for a concise and easily understandable introduction to the complex and fascinating subject of phenomenology.
