Political Phenomenology: Essays in Memory of Petee Jung [Paperback]

This volume presents political phenomenology as a new specialty in western philosophical and political thought that is post-classical, post-Machiavellian, and post-behavioral. It draws on history and sets the agenda for future explorations of political issues. It discloses crossroads between ethics and politics and explores border-crossing issues. All the essays in this volume challenge existing ideas of politics significantly. As such they open new ways for further explorations BY future generations of phenomenologists and non-phenomenologists alike. Moreover, the comprehensive chronological bibliography is unprecedented and provides not only an excellent picture of what phenomenologists have already done but also a guide for the future.PART I: FOREGROUND: STAGING AGENDA FOR POLITICAL PHENOMENOLOGY.- Chapter 1: Is a Rational Politics a Real Possibility?
