Opis

This book investigates how phenomenological philosophy addresses the complexity of the idea of Europe. It involves tackling problems that pertain not just to phenomenology, but how it reflects the social and political situation within a European frame. It was published as a special issue of the Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology.
