Description
Book SynopsisPresents fresh readings of classic phenomenological topics and introduces newer concepts developed by feminist theorists, critical race theorists, disability theorists, and queer and trans theorists that capture aspects of lived experience that have traditionally been neglected.
Trade Review50 Concepts for a Critical Phenomenology is an invaluable resource. Not only does it offer a clear overview of key texts and figures both within the center and the periphery of the phenomenological tradition, but it stands as a crucial critical intervention in the practice of phenomenology itself. It challenges us take seriously the ‘infinite task' of better understanding the very ways and means whereby we understand the world and our role in it. It shows, in other words, that rigorous phenomenology must be ‘critical,' and that critical phenomenology demands that we leave behind the comfort of tradition. "" - Michael J. Monahan, author of
