What does it take to constitute a we with others and how does feeling, thinking, and acting as part of a we, transform one's sense of self, one's relation to others, and the way one experiences the world? Is individual subjectivity something that necessarily requires a communal grounding or does a we-relationship always presuppose a plurality of pre-existing selves? What kind of understanding of and relation to others is required if a we is to emerge? Questions regarding the ontological, epistemological, and social character of we is not only of contemporary societal relevance, but are also questions that were intensively discussed by early phenomenological philosophers such as Husserl, Reinach, Stein, Scheler, Walther, Gurwitsch, and Schutz. Drawing on and engaging with ideas and distinctions found in these historical resources, Being We combines historical scholarship and systematic theorizing. It breaks new ground by interweaving work on selfhood and first-personal experience, social cognition, and collective intentionality, offers a much-needed cross fertilization between philosophy and theoretical considerations in the social sciences (sociology, anthropology, and social psychology), and provides a novel account of the complex interrelation between we, you, and I.

For første gang i nyere tid udkommer en publikation på dansk om Alberto Giacometti og hans arbejde. Bogen udgives i forbindelse med udstillingen Alberto Giacometti – Hvad øjet ser og er blevet til i et eksklusivt samarbejde mellem Fondation Giacometti i Paris og SMK i København. I kataloget kommer man helt tæt på Giacomettis værker og forskningsideen bag udstillingen. Kataloget rummer centrale, nyoversatte originaltekster af filosoffen Jean-Paul Sartre og Giacometti selv, fire aktuelle artikler af danske og franske forskere og ikke mindst illustrationer af udstillingens værker i ny, forbedret kvalitet, præsenteret på en måde, der underbygger forskningspointerne og udstillingens ide. Omdrejningspunktet er Giacomettis brud med det surrealistiske miljø, som han var en del af indtil 1934-35, og det slægtskab, som man gerne ser mellem hans sene værk og efterkrigstidens fænomenologisk inspirerede tænkere som Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre og Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Ud over at præsentere den tænkning og de erfaringer, der lå bag Giacomettis kunstneriske metode, giver bogen også et indblik i efterkrigstidens Paris, de steder og personligheder Giacometti omgav sig med.

For the first time in recent history, a publication on Alberto Giacometti and his work is being released in Denmark. The book is published in connection with the exhibition "Alberto Giacometti – What Meets the Eye" and has been created through an exclusive collaboration between the Fondation Giacometti in Paris and SMK in Copenhagen.In the catalog, readers get up close to Giacometti's works and the research concept behind the exhibition. The catalog includes key, newly translated original texts by philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and Giacometti himself, along with four current articles by Danish and French researchers. Notably, it also features illustrations of the exhibition's works in a new, improved quality, presented in a way that supports the research points and the exhibition's concept.The focal point is Giacometti's break with the surrealist environment, of which he was a part until 1934-35, and the affinity seen between his late work and post-war phenomenologically inspired thinkers such as Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. In addition to presenting the thinking and experiences that underlie Giacometti's artistic method, the book also provides insight into post-war Paris, the places, and personalities that Giacometti surrounded himself with.

This Oxford Handbook offers a broad critical survey of the development of phenomenology, one of the main streams of philosophy since the nineteenth century. It comprises thirty-seven specially written chapters by leading figures in the field, which highlight historical influences, connections and developments, and offer a better comprehension and assessment of the continuity as well as diversity of the phenomenological tradition. The handbook is divided into three distinct parts. The first part addresses the way phenomenology has been influenced by earlier periods or figures in the history of philosophy. The second part contains chapters targeting prominent phenomenologists: How was their work affected by earlier figures, how did their own views change over time, and what kind of influence did they exert on subsequent thinkers? The contributions in the third part trace various core topics such as subjectivity, intersubjectivity, embodiment, spatiality, imagination etc. in the work of different phenomenologists, in order to explore how the notions were transformed, enriched, and expanded up through the century. This volume will be a source of insight for philosophers, students of philosophy, and for people working in other disciplines of the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, who are interested in the phenomenological tradition. It is an authoritative guide to how phenomenology started, how it developed, and where it is heading.

Dan Zahavi offers an in-depth and up-to-date analysis of central and contested aspects of the philosophy of Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology. What is ultimately at stake in Husserl's phenomenological analyses? Are they primarily to be understood as investigations of consciousness or are they equally about the world? What is distinctive about phenomenological transcendental philosophy, and what kind of metaphysical import, if any, might it have? Husserl's Legacy offers an interpretation of the more overarching aims and ambitions of Husserlian phenomenology and engages with some of the most contested and debated questions in phenomenology. Central to its interpretative efforts is the attempt to understand Husserl's transcendental idealism. Zahavi argues that Husserl was not a sophisticated introspectionist, not a phenomenalist, nor an internalist, not a quietist when it comes to metaphysical issues, and not opposed to all forms of naturalism. Husserl's Legacy argues that Husserl's phenomenology is as much about the world as it is about consciousness, and that a proper grasp of Husserl's transcendental idealism reveals the fundamental importance of facticity and intersubjectivity.

EugÈne Minkowski’s Lived Time articulates a phenomenology of time that is as inspired by the philosophical writings of Henri Bergson and Edmund Husserl as it is by the psychiatric descriptions of Eugen Bleuler. After providing a phenomenological description of the experience of time in normal life, Minkowski considers a number of mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, manic depression, and dementia, and he attempts to show that these pathological cases can be characterized in terms of a distortion of lived time and space. First published in French in 1933 as Le temps vÉcu, this edition of this classic work of phenomenological psychiatry and psychopathology includes a new foreword by Dan Zahavi that presents some of Minkowski's main ideas and discusses his contemporary relevance.

Can you be a self on your own or only together with others? Is selfhood a built-in feature of experience or rather socially constructed? How do we at all come to understand others? Does empathy amount to and allow for a distinct experiential acquaintance with others, and if so, what does that tell us about the nature of selfhood and social cognition? Does a strong emphasis on the first-personal character of consciousness prohibit a satisfactory account of intersubjectivity or is the former rather a necessary requirement for the latter? Engaging with debates and findings in classical phenomenology, in philosophy of mind and in various empirical disciplines, Dan Zahavi's new book Self and Other offers answers to these questions. Discussing such diverse topics as self-consciousness, phenomenal externalism, mindless coping, mirror self-recognition, autism, theory of mind, embodied simulation, joint attention, shame, time-consciousness, embodiment, narrativity, self-disorders, expressivity and Buddhist no-self accounts, Zahavi argues that any theory of consciousness that wishes to take the subjective dimension of our experiential life serious must endorse a minimalist notion of self. At the same time, however, he also contends that an adequate account of the self has to recognize its multifaceted character, and that various complementary accounts must be integrated, if we are to do justice to its complexity. Thus, while arguing that the most fundamental level of selfhood is not socially constructed and not constitutively dependent upon others, Zahavi also acknowledges that there are dimensions of the self and types of self-experience that are other-mediated. The final part of the book exemplifies this claim through a close analysis of shame.

Hverdagen spiller en afgørende rolle, hvis man vil forstå samfundet i sin helhed og kompleksitet, og de seneste årtier har studier af hverdagen spillet en stadig større rolle inden for sociologien. Hverdagslivet – sociologier om det upåagtede giver en bred introduktion til hverdagslivssociologien som et samlet felt. Bogen beskriver hverdagslivssociologiens ophav i Chicago-skolen og den amerikanske pragmatisme samt udviklingen mod nyere teoridannelser. Der stilles skarpt på marxisme, fænomenologi, eksistentialisme, emotionssociologi og nyere fransk hverdagslivssociologi, der ikke er eksplicit sociologiske skoler, men som på hver deres måde kaster et perspektivrigt blik på hverdagslivet. Endvidere præsenteres centrale hverdagslivstænkere som Goffman, Garfinkel, Sacks og Schegloff. Bogen er rettet mod studerende og undervisere på universiteter og højere læreanstalter. Bogen foreligger her i en gennemrevideret og ajourført udgave med til føjelse af to kapitler: fransk hverdagssociologi og emotionssociologi. Indhold: 1. Chicago-sociologi: Anja Jørgensen 2. Amerikansk pragmatisme: Antje Gimler 3. Symbolsk interaktionisme: Jan Trost, Irene Levin 4. Marxisme, modernitet og utopi: Michael Gardiner 5.

Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) er kendt som fænomenologiens grundlægger og er en af det 20. århundredes mest indflydelsesrige filosoffer. Husserls fænomenologi er en indføring i en række hovedtemaer og kernebegreber i hans tænkning. Bogen er opdelt i tre hovedafsnit, der til et vist punkt forener systematik og kronologi, for så vidt som den følger udviklingen i Husserls forfatterskab: fra de tidlige analyser af bevidsthedens intentionalitet over hans undersøgelse af den transcendentale subjektivitet til de sene analyser af intersubjektiviteten og livsverdenen.Husserls fænomenologi udkom første gang i 1997, men den foreliggende udgave er stærkt revideret.
