Pragmatic Perspectives in Phenomenology offers a complex analysis
of the pragmatic theses that are present in the works of leading
phenomenological authors, including not only Heidegger and
Merleau-Ponty, as it is often the case within Hubert Dreyfus'
tradition, but also Husserl, Levinas, Scheler, and Patocka.
Starting from a critical reassessment of existing pragmatic
readings which draw especially on Heidegger's account of
Being-in-the-world, the volume's chapters explore the following
themes as possible justifications for speaking about the pragmatic
turn in phenomenology: the primacy of the practical over
theoretical understanding, criticism of the representationalist
account of perception and consciousness, and the analysis of
language and truth within the context of social and cultural
practices. Having thus analyzed the pragmatic readings of key
phenomenological concepts, the book situates these readings in a
larger historical and thematic context and introduces themes that
until now have been overlooked in debates, including freedom,
alterity, transcendence, normativity, distance, and self-knowledge.
This volume seeks to refresh the debate about the phenomenological
legacy and its relevance for contemporary thought by enlarging the
thematic scope of pragmatic motives in phenomenology in new and
revealing ways. It will be of interest to advanced students and
scholars of phenomenology who are interested in moving beyond the
analytic-continental divide to explore the relationship between
practice and theory.
