Border-crossing

Meer over het boek

The history of phenomenology can be understood essentially as a history of border-crossing: disciplinary, geographical, linguistic, and cultural. Only by crossing borders can we be aware that there is always a beyond of what we have hitherto experienced, thought, and understood. Doing phenomenology is nothing other than daring to experience the un-experienced and thinking the un-thought by way of a constant movement of border-crossing, as Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and other contemporary phenomenologists have shown. The essays collected in this volume are issued from part of the papers presented to the 4th International Conference of P. E. A. CE (Phenomenology for East-Asian CirclE) entitled “Border-Crossing”. They are the collective effort of East-Asian phenomenologists from Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, with the support of their American and European colleagues, to continue this centenary philosophical movement of border-crossing.
