Studies in Phenomenology & Existential PhilosophyPhenomenology of the alien
Basic concepts
Bernhard Waldenfels
Translated by Alexander Kozin, Tanja Stähler
With impressive erudition Waldenfels weaves in xenological themes from classical philosophy, contemporary phenomenology, literature, linguistics, sociology, and anthropology to address the boundaries of experience that unite and separate human beings, their collectives, their perceptions, and aspirations. While the debate has long raged in German-speaking circles, Waldenfels’s work is largely unavailable to the English-speaking audience, with the only other translation being The Order in the Twilight (1996). Phenomenology of the Alien is a superb introduction to both xenological phenomenology, and thethe question of the alien as it has been unfolding in contemporary thought.
