Phenomenology, the philosophical method that seeks to uncover the
taken-for-granted presuppositions, habits, and norms that structure
everyday experience, is increasingly framed by ethical and
political concerns. Critical phenomenology foregrounds experiences
of marginalization, oppression, and power in order to identify and
transform common experiences of injustice that render "the
familiar" a site of oppression for many. In 50 Concepts for a
Critical Phenomenology, leading scholars present fresh readings of
classic phenomenological topics and introduce newer concepts
developed by feminist theorists, critical race theorists,
disability theorists, and queer and trans theorists that capture
aspects of lived experience that have traditionally been neglected.
By centering historically marginalized perspectives, the chapters
in this book breathe new life into the phenomenological tradition
and reveal its ethical, social, and political promise. The volume
will be an invaluable resource for teaching and research in
continental philosophy; feminist, gender, and sexuality studies;
critical race theory; disability studies; cultural studies; and
critical theory more generally.

Western philosophy's relationship with prisons stretches from
Plato's own incarceration to the modern era of mass incarceration.
Philosophy Imprisoned: The Love of Wisdom in the Age of Mass
Incarceration draws together a broad range of philosophical
thinkers, from both inside and outside prison walls, in the United
States and beyond, who draw on a variety of critical perspectives
(including phenomenology, deconstruction, and feminist theory) and
historical and contemporary figures in philosophy (including Kant,
Hegel, Foucault, and Angela Davis) to think about prisons in this
new historical era. All of these contributors have experiences
within prison walls: some are or have been incarcerated, some have
taught or are teaching in prisons, and all have been students of
both philosophy and the carceral system. The powerful testimonials
and theoretical arguments are appropriate reading not only for
philosophers and prison theorists generally, but also for prison
reformers and abolitionists.
