About this ebook

This volume showcases the vibrant and diverse landscape of phenomenological thinking in India. Critically engaging with the works of phenomenological thinkers like Edmund Husserl, Emmanuel Levinas, Franz Brentano, Hannah Arendt, Jitendra Nath Mohanty, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and R. Sundara Rajan, the contributors of this volume offer exciting insights and interdisciplinary examinations that help expand our understanding of phenomenology within a global context. Among this volume’s rich contributions are new accounts that delve into the hitherto ‘lost’ reception history of phenomenology in India, the as-yet inadequately acknowledged extent of Edmund Husserl’s engagement with Buddhist philosophy, R. Sundara Rajan’s decolonizing thinking on geophilia, a cross-cultural dialogical exploration between phenomenology and yoga philosophy, a phenomenology of tribal identity formation in Northeast India, a critical phenomenology of caste, a feminist and anti-caste phenomenology of labor, and aesthetic phenomenology in the context of curatorial technologies as well as theatrical experiences. The volume also offers a novel phenomenological methodology for environmental ethics research in addition to timely interventions to the problem of referentiality in Husserl and decision in Heidegger. The varied contributions of this volume would serve as thought-provoking resources for graduate students and researchers in related fields.
