Phenomenology of the political

"This volume is a collection of phenomenological investigations of the political domain. The essays analyze basic concepts such as action, community, and the relation of the political to the ethical, investigate fundamental issues such as the nation-state, leadership, sovereignty, and responsibility, and they examine the convergence of these matters as exemplified in racial discrimination. The volume also includes discussions of the often neglected work of such important contributors to this field as Alfred Schutz and Paul Ricoeur. The essays collected here demonstrate that phenomenology's distinctive contribution to political philosophy is its commitment to the ways the matters at issue show themselves, rather than to the often obscuring intellectual and philosophical traditions within which they are typically discussed."--Jacket.
