Description
Hubert L. Dreyfus and Mark A. Wrathall, eds. A Companion to Phenomenology and Existentialism. Malden, MA: Blackwell 2006. Pp. 622. US$175.95 (cloth ISBN-13: 978-1-4051-1077-8); US$49.95 (paper ISBN-13: 978-1-4051-9113-5). 'Phenomenology is alive', writes Francois-David Sebbah in this new addition to the Blackwell Companions to Philosophy series (41). And indeed, to judge from the great diversity of applications of phenomenology showcased in the third and strongest part of this book--in entries on neuroscience (Ratcliffe), cognitive science (Andler), medicine (Svenaeus), ecology (Thomson), and feminism (Heinamaa)--phenomenology has never been more relevant. From the perspective of this substantial volume, we are entering a new age of phenomenology, the age of interdisciplinary phenomenology. A pragmatic spirit that is strange to much of historical phenomenology animates many of the contributions to this book. Dreyfus and Wrathall want to convince us that phenomenology can get things done. 'It no longer seems pressing to decide to what extent existentialism can be phenomenological, or whether phenomenology leads one inevitably to existentialist views on the self and the world ... the ultimate compatibility of the movements is resolved in practice' (5).
