God in Recent French Phenomenology.
Philosophy Compass, 2008Co-Authors: J. Aaron SimmonsAbstract:In this essay, I provide an introduction to the so-called theological turn in recent French, new Phenomenology. I begin by articulating the stakes of excluding God from Phenomenology (as advocated by Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger) and then move on to a brief consideration of why Dominique Janicaud contends that, by inquiring into the inapparent, new Phenomenology is no longer phenomenological. I then consider the general trajectories of this recent movement and argue that there are five main themes that unite the work of such varied thinkers as Levinas, Derrida, Marion, Henry, Chrétien, Lacoste, and Ricœur. I conclude by outlining points of overlap between new phenome- nology and contemporary analytic philosophy of religion and suggest that the two stand as important resources for each other.

What Is Phenomenology
Phenomenology, 2012Co-Authors: Shaun GallagherAbstract:What is Phenomenology? There have been books written on this question, including books by some of the major figures in this philosophical tradition. Let’s start by taking a look at some of the recent definitions. Phenomenology is the study of human experience and of the ways things present themselves to us in and through such experience (Sokolowski 2000, 2). Phenomenology is the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view. (Smith 2008)

Phenomenology
Philosophy, 2011Co-Authors: Shaun GallagherAbstract:Phenomenology is a philosophical tradition originating in the 20th century with the work of Edmund Husserl (b. 1859–d. 1938) and continued in authors such as Martin Heidegger (b. 1889–d. 1976), Jean-Paul Sartre (b. 1905–d. 1980), and Maurice Merleau-Ponty (b. 1908–d. 1961). It begins, in Husserl, with a descriptive analysis of consciousness proposed as the transcendental foundation for all other sciences. Husserl provides specific accounts of the central concepts of Phenomenology, for example, intentionality, temporality, perception, and intersubjectivity. In later phenomenological philosophers this approach is extended to include more hermeneutical and existential issues, with emphasis on themes such as embodiment, being-in-the-world, and action. As a broad philosophical movement that includes developed views on topics from consciousness and intentionality to time, space, science and art and that finds applications in multiple fields, including the behavioral, social, and cognitive sciences, medicine, and psychiatry, it is difficult to capture its full scope in a short and selective list of bibliographic starting points.

The Nature of Cognitive Phenomenology
Philosophy Compass, 2013Co-Authors: Declan SmithiesAbstract:This is the first in a series of two articles that serve as an introduction to recent debates about cognitive Phenomenology. Cognitive Phenomenology can be defined as the experience that is associated with cognitive activities, such as thinking, reasoning, and understanding. What is at issue in contemporary debates is not the existence of cognitive Phenomenology, so defined, but rather its nature and theoretical role. The first article examines questions about the nature of cognitive Phenomenology, while the second article explores the philosophical implications of these questions for the role of consciousness in theories of intentionality, introspective self-knowledge, and knowledge of the external world.

Queer Phenomenology
2020Co-Authors: Sara AhmedAbstract:In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put Phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer Phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry.Ahmed proposes that a queer Phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by Phenomenology but also the orientation of Phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear—and those that do not—as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts—by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon—with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions
