This collection of essays examines the instrumental role of intersubjectivity in Husserl's philosophy, and then develops a method, informed by Husserl's own approach, as a way to resolve contemporary philosophical issues.

This book brings together different approaches that shed light on the phenomenology of the lived body-its normality and abnormality, health and sickness, its activity as well as its passivity.

The aim of this volume is to offer an updated account of the transcendental character of phenomenology.

Drawing on Husserlian resources and existentialist and hermeneutical approaches, this book argues that critique is largely a question of method. It shows that phenomenological discussions of social and political problems draw from a tradition of radically critical investigations in epistemology, social ontology, political theory, and ethics.

This volume investigates forms of normativity through the phenomenological methods of description, analysis, and interpretation. It takes a broad approach to norms, covering not only rules and commands but also goals, values, and passive drives and tendencies.

This volume examines the relevance of Emmanuel Levinas¿s work to recent developments in analytic philosophy. It shows how Levinas¿s account of "ethics as first philosophy" affords a way of connecting these respective enterprises and showing how moral normativity enters into the structure of rationality and personal identity.

Fundamental topics and problems discussed include the role of community in their philosophies; Merleau-Ponty on description and depiction and Wittgenstein on saying and doing; the role of language; their treatment of expression; their relation to the philosophy of the Vienna Circle; solipsism; and rule-following.

The chapters in this volume ask in a methodological and systematic way how phenomenology can connect first-person experience with normative principles in political philosophy. The chapters cover the phenomenology of political experience, the phenomenology of political ontology, and the phenomenology of political episteme.

This collection of essays examines the instrumental role of intersubjectivity in Husserl's philosophy, and then develops a method, informed by Husserl's own approach, as a way to resolve contemporary philosophical issues.

This book draws connections between analytic philosophy of mind and the insights from the phenomenological tradition concerning the nature of thinking. This collection serves to broaden the current debate over cognitive phenomenology, and promotes dialogue between analytic and continental approaches to the phenomenal character of thinking.

This collection offers complex analysis of the pragmatic theses that are present in the works of leading phenomenologists, including Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty. It will be of interest to scholars of phenomenology who are interested in moving beyond the analytic-continental divide to explore the relationship between practice and theory.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Ludwig Wittgenstein are two of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, yet their work is generally regarded as standing in contrast to one another. However, as this outstanding collection demonstrates they both reject a Cartesian picture of the mind and sought to offer an alternative that does justice to the role played by bodily action, language, and our membership within a community that shares a way of life.This is the first collection to compare and contrast the work of these two major philosophers. Fundamental topics and problems discussed include the role of community in their philosophies; Merleau-Ponty on description and depiction and Wittgenstein on saying and doing; the role of language; their treatment of expression; their relation to the philosophy of the Vienna Circle; solipsism; and rule-following.It is essential reading for anyone studying the work of Wittgenstein and Merleau-Ponty, as well as those interested in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language.

This book draws connections between recent advances in analytic philosophy of mind and insights from the rich phenomenological tradition concerning the nature of thinking. By combining both analytic and continental approaches, the volume arrives at a more comprehensive understanding of the mental process of "thinking" and the experience and manipulation of objects of thought. Contributors scrutinize aspects of thinking that have a common grounding in both the phenomenological and analytic tradition: perception, language, logic, embodiment and situatedness due to individual history or current experience. This collection serves to broaden and enrich the current debate over "cognitive phenomenology," and lays the foundations for further dialogue between analytic and continental approaches to the phenomenal character of thinking.

This volume identifies and develops how phenomenology and philosophy of mind interact in both conceptual and empirically-informed ways.

This book clarifies interdependence as a concept and reveals the ontological commitments that demonstrate how this notion can address a range of contemporary issues. The book's framework is organized around Merleau-Ponty's non-dualist and relational ontology, which underpins human subjects and other living beings in what he calls an interworld.
