Summary:

Taking the term 'phenomenologist' in a fairly broad sense, Early Phenomenology seeks to examine the movement before orthodoxies solidified and the borders of phenomenology became firmly established. It includes not merely canonical figures from the early days of phenomenology (such as von Hildebrand, Scheler and Stein), but early interlocutors (such as Buber, Ortega and Otto) whose status as phenomenologists is more questionable Precisely who counts as a phenomenologist becomes increasingly more fluid, the more we distance ourselves from the gravitational pull of Husserl and Heidegger. More than simply adding to the story of phenomenology by looking more closely at thinkers without the same fame as Husserl or Heidegger and the representatives of their legacy, the essays relate to one of the earlier thinkers with figures that are either more contemporary or more widely read, or both. Beyond filling in the historical record and reviving names, the chapters of this book will also give contemporary readers reasons to take these figures seriously as phenomenologists, radically reordering of our understanding of the lineage of this major philosophical movement.
