Summary
This voluminous handbook, compiled by three younger researchers, continues the pioneering work of the Alsatian émigré Herbert Spiegelberg on German soil. Transcending national and disciplinary boundaries, the phenomenological movement is presented in its most important historical stages and turning points and in its geographical diversity, oriented towards the 'things themselves' newly discovered by Husserl, which are given a voice and a view in their own right. This opens up fields of activity ranging from linguistic analysis to the social, ethical and political to special questions of phenomenotechnics and ethnological foreignness. In the face of an overly strong trend towards the digitalization of the 'Lebenswelt', phenomenology shows its strength in the way it leaves the first and last word to experience beyond all constructions and transformations.
