Phenomenology

The present volume comprises central insights about the nature of phenomenology from some of the most prominent scholars in contemporary phenomenology. The format of the contributions, conceived as responses to a five-question questionnaire, has allowed each author to address in a concise and flexible way a broad range of topics, from personal reflections on how each of them was drawn into phenomenology, to considerations of the latter's significance in the contemporary intellectual landscape. The result is a volume containing insightful and thought-provoking reflections about the past, present, and future of phenomenology from outstanding scholars in the field. The five questions that contributors were asked to answer were the following: 1. Why were you initially drawn to phenomenology? 2. What are your main contributions to the field of phenomenology? 3. What is the proper role of phenomenology in relation to other disciplines? 4. What have been the most significant advances in phenomenology? 5. What are the most important open problems in phenomenology and what are the prospects for progress?
