Beschreibung

The volume investigates the phenomenology of individual agency in the context of the challenges dictated by modern science and technology as well as the role of the individual body in the creation of the societal/cultural reality. In addition, this book explores the phenomenology of aesthetic experiences in language, arts, and the changing conceptualization of beauty. Philosophical works of Jan Patöka, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Hans-Georg Gadamer are of particular focus. Also included is a collection of essays engaged in the practical application of phenomenology in the areas of literature, arts, and art education. These contributions appeal to researchers and students in the field.
