About this book

"In recent years phenomenology has become a resource for reflecting on political questions. While much of this discussion has primarily focused on the ways in which phenomenology can help reformulate central concepts in political theory, the essays in this volume ask in a methodological and systematic way how phenomenology can connect first-person experience with normative principles in political philosophy.
