Drawing on Husserl's concepts of communalization and
intersubjectivity, this book aspires to an orientation in which
human beings are understood in the context of their full-blooded,
concrete existence - the life-world. Michael F. Hickman offers a
fresh return to the raw experience of politics through the
contemporary realist idea of radical disagreement as the
'circumstances of politics.' He surpasses realist limitations
through the acknowledgment of the constitution of world itself as
an achievement of the intersubjective community, whilst crucially
asserting that the political horizon is distinguishable from, but
coterminous with, the life-world itself. Through the use of
hypotheticals, an unprecedented phenomenological account of
political experience is offered, in which three major themes of
political subjectivity are explored: belonging and possession,
authority, and foreignness and political others. Finally, a
multi-phase analysis of legitimacy is conducted which, taking into
account universal human rights and 'empirically' identifiable
expressions of acceptance, is nonetheless rooted in a source - the
life-world - that reaches beyond any mere collectivity of ego-acts.
Utilizing an expanded philosophical universe, Husserlian
Phenomenology and Contemporary Political Realism offers a path
forward from the ideological stalemates in which liberal theory
seems hopelessly locked. It will appeal to scholars involved in the
study of Political Theory and Philosophy, International Relations,
intercultural studies, human rights and phenomenology.
