Timo Miettinen shows that Husserl’s reflections on Europe contain his most compelling and radical interpretation on the intersubjective, communal, and historical dimensions of phenomenology.  Husserl and his generation worked in the aftermath of World War I, as Europe struggled to redefine itself, and he penned his late writings as the clouds of World War II gathered. Decades later, the fall of the Soviet Union again altered the continent’s identity and its political and economic divisions. Miettinen writes as a European involved in the question of Europe, and many of the recent authors and critics he addresses in this work—such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Giorgio Agamben—likewise deeply engaged with this new problem of European identity.  Husserl and the Idea of Europe interprets key concepts of Husserl’s late philosophy in new, compelling ways. The book illuminates the multifaceted problem of the idea of European rationality, and it defends novel conceptions of universalism and teleology as necessary components of radical philosophical reflection.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736618377489,"sku":"NGR9780810141490","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0810141493.jpg?v=1763479056"},{"product_id":"time-of-democracy-book-timo-miettinen-9781041228547","title":"Time of Democracy","description":"In Time of Democracy, Timo Miettinen takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of democratic ideas, showing how our political systems are deeply shaped by the way we understand the past, imagine the future, and live in the present.
