Europe, Phenomenology, and Politics in Husserl and Patocka - Hardcover

by Lorenzo Girardi (Author)

Lorenzo Girardi brings together themes of Europe, phenomenology and politics to reveal the relevance of Edmund Husserl and Jan Patočka's works for contemporary political issues. Addressing the concept of crisis in Europe, this book presents an agonistic conception of liberal democracy based on Patočka's phenomenological concept of problematicity.
