Roman Ingarden and His Times

More about the book

The papers in this volume reflect the diverse interests in contemporary phenomenology inspired by Roman Ingarden, a prominent student of Husserl who was both a devoted follower and a critical voice. Ingarden's extensive exploration of philosophy spans aesthetics, ontology, metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, philosophical anthropology, and cognitive science, all underpinned by a commitment to rigorous logical inquiry and a keen interest in the sciences. Contributors to this collection address a variety of topics, drawing from these fields. Some authors delve into historical aspects, shedding new light on the evolution of early phenomenology and Ingarden's realist approach. Others focus on specific themes like aesthetic experience, the philosophy of music, and artistic creation, while some examine the implications of Ingarden's ontological and anthropological insights for contemporary issues such as text interpretation and technological posthumanization. The collection features contributions from established experts and emerging scholars, representing three generations of researchers who share common philosophical objectives and methodologies, resulting in a lively and accessible discourse.
