About this book
The Encyclopedia of Phenomenology presents a comprehensive mapping of phenomenological thought on a global scale within philosophy and related disciplines. It appeals to researchers in philosophy and related theoretical/applied disciplines, as well as to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
The Encyclopedia surveys the current state and significance of international phenomenological research and the 200+ entries address five categories: figures; concepts (life-world, noema, Dasein, etc.) and methods; themes and tendencies; contributions and debates; and finally, cross-fertilizations. Research in the field has developed on an international scale resulting in a need for such a state-of-art encyclopedia. This reference work is the source in phenomenology for readers looking to verify terms, figures, and themes as well as to build upon for further publications.
