PHENOMENOLOGY AND THE PRIMACY OF THE POLITICAL ...

This volume is a Festschrift in honor of Jacques Taminiaux and examines the primacy of the
political within phenomenology. These objectives support each other  in that Taminiaux's own
intellectual itinerary brought him increasingly to an affirmation of the importance of the
political. Divided into four sections  the essays contained in this volume engage with
different aspects of the political dimension of phenomenology: its dialogue with classic texts
of political philosophy  the political facets of phenomenological praxis  phenomenology's
contribution to actual political debates  and the impact of Taminiaux's work in the shaping of
phenomenology's notion of politics. The phrase the primacy of the political echoes the primacy
of perception as it was famously defined by Merleau-Ponty. This book emphasizes  however  the
inescapability of the political rather than its foundational character  i.e. the fact that
various itineraries of thought  explored in different fields of phenomenological research  give
rise to politically relevant reflections. It points out and elucidates political connotations
that haunt phenomenological concepts  such as 'world'  'self'  'nature'  'intersubjectivity  or
'language'  and traces them to a broad range of approaches  concepts  and methods. In its
explorations  the book discusses a broad range of thinkers  including  but not limited to 
Aristotle and Kant  Bergson  Husserl  Heidegger  Merleau-Ponty  Gadamer  Ricoeur  and Arendt.
