Philosophien der Praxis
Thomas Bedorf, Selin Gerlek (eds)
Mohr Siebeck - Tubingen
2019
Philosophie in ihrer historischen Tiefe und systematischen Breite Das Handbuch bemüht sich nicht nur um eine Begriffsbestimmung, sondern insgesamt um ein Denken von der Praxis her. Es beansprucht, für unser Verständnis der gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Wirklichkeiten nicht theoretische Begriffe einfach vorauszusetzen, sondern von den Praktiken und den praktischen Vollzügen selbst erst zu erschließen.
Political phenomenology
Thomas Bedorf, Steffen Herrmann (eds)
Routledge - London
2019
In recent years phenomenology has become a resource for reflecting on political questions. While much of this discussion has primarily focused on the ways in which phenomenology can help reformulate central concepts in political theory, the chapters in this volume ask in a methodological and systematic way how phenomenology can connect first-person experience with normative principles in political philosophy.
