The Faces of Contemporary Phenomenology. Vol. 2: Sartre and Beyond

Vol. 2: Sartre and Beyond. Edited [and introduced] by Robert Grzywacz, Magdalena Kozak and Szczepan Urbaniak.

The second volume aims to continue the research on the relevance of the phenomenological approach, the thematic breadth of inquiries conducted within this movement, as well as the significance of its anthropological and cultural applications. This book addresses the issue of the relevance of selected aspects of Jean-Paul Sartre's intellectual legacy for our times. The collected studies discuss: Sartre's relationship to Husserl's heritage, initiative, desire in the context of phenomenology of the inapparent, freedom and choice from the perspective of Sartre's connections with psychoanalysis, biographical writing, and his own autobiographical stance, as well as emotions in general, in their relation to pre-reflective consciousness, and some specific ones (such as anguish and anxiety). Separate attention is given to oppression and violence, the humiliating gaze, and the existentialist project of ethics. The volume is complemented by texts devoted to other authors: Marc Richir through the lens of the phenomenological method, Hildebrand and Frankfurt in the discussion on self-love, as well as subjectivity as depicted in the paintings of Erna Rosenstein.
