Inventing Philosophy's Other
The history of phenomenology, and its absence, in American philosophy. Phenomenology and so-called "continental philosophy" receive scant attention in most American philosophy departments, despite their foundational influence on intellectual movements such as existentialism, post-structuralism, and deconstruction. In Inventing Philosophy's Other, Jonathan Strassfeld explores this absence, revealing how everyday institutional practices played a determinative role in the development of twentieth-century academic discourse. Conventional wisdom holds that phenomenology's absence from the philosophical mainstream in the United States reflects its obscurity or even irrelevance to America's philosophical traditions. Strassfeld refutes this story as he traces phenomenology's reception in America, delivering the first systematic historical study of the movement in the United States. He examines the lives and works of Marjorie Grene, Alfred Schütz, Hubert Dreyfus, and Iris Marion Young, among others, while also providing a fresh introduction to phenomenological philosophy.
Women Phenomenologists Past and Present
This edited volume investigates a much-needed exploration of women phenomenologists, past and present, in particular, Hannah Arendt, Hedwig Conrad-Martius, Edith Stein, and Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka. The sections covered are devoted to the phenomenological exploration of autobiography, subjectivism, and posthumanism as dealing with modalities of the real and art (poetry and music, in particular). This volume includes, among others, a study of the autobiography of Husserl, a phenomenological analysis of an immigrant experience, a poetic autobiography, and a phenomenological recollection of emotions through artistic media. Chapters also explore the notions of empathy, certain aspects of mental illness and trauma, and the experience of patients. This book appeals to students and researchers working in applied phenomenology.
Contemporary Sacred Art
What is the so-called "Contemporary Sacred Art"? In her book, Michela Beatrice Ferri inquires about the themes of what we can call "Sacred Art" and "Religious Art" nowadays in our churches, in our Sacred Spaces, in the pictures we see, and in the sculptures we admire.The author collected eighteen dialogues, a third with the most important Italian Scholars in the field of the Sacred Art, and the remainder with the most important Italian artists working with the Catholic Church and working on the theme of the Religious, of the Sacred.In this book, the author leads the discussion with the theoretical basis of the field that we can call "the aesthetics of Sacred Art," bringing together the messages of Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II to the artists with the Thomistic Perspective and the phenomenological point of view to create a starting point for a pioneer study on Contemporary Art in our Churches, in our Sacred Places, and in every visual representation we have with us.
