Sophie Loidolt – författare

Phenomenology has primarily been concerned with conceptual questions about knowledge and ontology. However, in recent years, the rise of interest and research in applied phenomenology has seen the study of political phenomenology move to a central place in the study of phenomenology generally.

The Routledge Handbook of Political Phenomenology is the first major collection on this important topic. Comprising 35 chapters by an international team of expert contributors, the handbook is organized into six clear parts, each with its own introduction by the editors:

Full attention is given to central figures in the phenomenological movement, including Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas, as well as those whose contribution to political phenomenology is more distinctive, such as Arendt, De Beauvoir, and Fanon. Also included are chapters on gender, race and intersectionality, disability, and technology.

Ideal for those studying phenomenology, continental philosophy, and political theory, The Routledge Handbook of Political Phenomenology bridges an important gap between a major philosophical movement and contemporary political issues and concepts.

This book develops a unique phenomenology of plurality by introducing Hannah Arendt’s work into current debates taking place in the phenomenological tradition. Loidolt offers a systematic treatment of plurality that unites the fields of phenomenology, political theory, social ontology, and Arendt studies to offer new perspectives on key concepts such as intersubjectivity, selfhood, personhood, sociality, community, and conceptions of the "we." Phenomenology of Plurality is an in-depth, phenomenological analysis of Arendt that represents a viable third way between the "modernist" and "postmodernist" camps in Arendt scholarship. It also introduces a number of political and ethical insights that can be drawn from a phenomenology of plurality. This book will appeal to scholars interested in the topics of plurality and intersubjectivity within phenomenology, existentialism, political philosophy, ethics, and feminist philosophy.

Anspruch und Rechtfertigung entwickelt eine phänomenologische Theorie des ‘rechtlichen Denkens’. Dabei handelt es sich um eine erste systematische Untersuchung derjenigen Bewusstseinsstrukturen, die ein Begründen, Ausweisen und Rechtfertigen überhaupt erst ermöglichen.

Die grundlegende Frage ist, wie Rechtsansprüche, die sowohl erkenntnistheoretischen als auch ethischen Urteilen inhärent sind, als ein Grundmerkmal des Erfahrens verstanden werden können. Die vorliegende These gibt eine genetische Antwort auf diese Frage. Sie führt den Rechtscharakter im Denken auf einen ursprünglichen Anspruch zurück, dem Bewusstsein im Erfahren immer schon ausgesetzt ist. Rechtliche Strukturen müssen daher als eine prädikative Antwort auf ein vorprädikatives Angesprochen-Sein begriffen werden.

Das vorliegende Buch untersucht sowohl den ethischen als auch den erkenntnistheoretischen Bereich, wobei Husserls genetische Phänomenologie in Erfahrung und Urteil den methodischen Hintergrund bildet. Es bietet außerdem eine neue und umfassende Lektüre von Husserls Schriften zur Ethik, sowie einen kritischen Dialog mit der Alteritätsethik von Levinas und der Diskursethik Apels.

Anspruch und Rechtfertigung (Appeal and Justification) develops a phenomenological theory of judgments on legitimacy. It undertakes a first systematic investigation of the structures in consciousness which enable the process of justification to unfold.

The overall question is how the claim for legitimacy, inherent in both epistemological and ethical judgments, can be understood as a fundamental character of experience. The thesis that this book offers follows along the lines of a genetic answer to this question. It traces the characteristic of legitimation back to an originary appeal to which consciousness is exposed by experience. Legitimizing structures are thus to be understood as a predicativeanswer to this prepredicative appeal.

This book investigates both the epistemological and the ethical fields, working mainly with Husserl’s genetic theory in Experience and Judgement. It offers a new and comprehensive reading of Husserl’s ethics and a critical dialogue with Levinas’ ethics of alterity and Apels’ discourse ethics.
