Phenomenology and Transcendental Idealism
Phenomenology and Transcendental Idealism explores the nuanced and paradoxical interplay between phenomenology and idealism, examining how this complex relationship shapes the phenomenological method and its intersections with major idealist thinkers in the history of philosophy. This interdisciplinary approach enables contributors to address a range of themes—from the metaphysical foundations of phenomenology as a form of transcendental idealism to its application in concrete areas such as emotions, aesthetics, and philosophical anthropology. Through this exploration, the volume critically assesses the legitimacy of idealist positions within the phenomenological tradition, scrutinizing both the justification for and potential limitations of a phenomenological idealism.
