This volume explores the phenomenology of broken habits and their affective, social, and involuntary dimensions. It shows how disruptive experiences impact self-understanding and social embeddedness. The chapters in this volume investigate the epistemic and existential relevance of breakdown of habits and the corresponding kinds of self-understanding available to the agent. The first part focuses on the double-sidedness of habitual life. On the one hand, habits allow us to arrange and navigate in a familiar home world; on the other hand, habits can take hold of us in such a way that we lose our sense of autonomy. The contributors argue that habitual agency is structurally carried by a dynami...
The traces of the Cold War are still visible in many places all around the world. It is the topic of exhibits and new museums, of memorial days and historic sites, of documentaries and movies, of arts and culture. There are historical and political controversies, both nationally and internationally, about how the history of the Cold War should be told and taught, how it should be represented and remembered. While much has been written about the political history of the Cold War, the analysis of its memory and representation is just beginning. Bringing together a wide range of scholars, this volume describes and analyzes the cultural history and representation of the Cold War from an international perspective. That innovative approach focuses on master narratives of the Cold War, places of memory, public and private memorialization, popular culture, and schoolbooks. Due to its unique status as a center of Cold War confrontation and competition, Cold War memory in Berlin receives a special emphasis. With the friendly support of the Wilson Center.

The Porosity of the Self provides an original interpretation and comprehensive examination of the philosophy of Edmund Husserl 1859-1938), the founder of phenomenology and one of the most important and influential philosophers of the 19th–20th century. The book is unique in providing an exploration of the philosophical problem of the self, drawn from key texts across Husserl’s work. The book challenges prevailing philosophical accounts of self and personhood that are predominantly one-dimensional and that often fail to capture the intricate double-sidedness of how we experience ourselves, others, and the world. The book demonstrates how Husserl’s philosophy offers an important alternat...
The traditions of Marxism, Anarchism, Existentialism, and Critical Theory all make use of the concepts of revolt, rebellion, and revolution. Despite this, these concepts are not always recognized as important philosophical concepts. In our contemporary world, we witness a growing polarization within society and an increase in intolerance, accompanied by the demonization of “the other.” This situation is exacerbated by the widespread dissemination of misinformation and conspiracy theories, which fuel feelings of anger and alienation. As a result, rebellion emerges as an increasingly popular method for individuals to express their frustrations, often at the expense of their communities. Th...

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) no tuvo en gran consideración la contemplación apartada del mundo. Al contrario, aparecer públicamente y asumir la responsabilidad de las posiciones adoptadas, aunque parezca arriesgado, representa para ella la tarea decisiva del pensamiento filosófico. Pues lo político necesita una esfera pública. La libertad del ser humano, para Arendt, radica en poder intercambiar ideas con los demás, pues solo entonces está dada la posibilidad de estar unos con otros. Una pensadora, comprometida y valiente, que se atrevió a hacer frente al terror de la tiranía y a la opresión, que pretenden subyugar al ser humano.
Phenomenology has primarily been concerned with conceptual questions about knowledge and ontology. However, in recent years, the rise of interest and research in applied phenomenology has seen the study of political phenomenology move to a central place in the study of phenomenology generally. The Routledge Handbook of Political Phenomenology is the first major collection on this important topic. Comprising 35 chapters by an international team of expert contributors, the handbook is organized into six clear parts, each with its own introduction by the editors: Founders of Phenomenology Existentialist Phenomenology Phenomenology of the Social and Political World Phenomenology of Alterity Phen...
