Women Phenomenologists Past and Present : The Human Being in the World: Subjectivism and Modalities of the Real and Art

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.
