The Yearbook on History and Interpretation of Phenomenology (An Annual Journal)

Center of Phenomenological Studies at Trnava University in Trnava is preparing the first issue of The Yearbook on History and Interpretation of Phenomenology. The main topic of the issue concerns three areas of phenomenological inquiry: person, subject, and organism. These three points seem to be intertwined in various ways. We could see it as a mere question of Husserlian phenomenology of personhood on the one hand, or as a broader problem which includes epistemological, ontological or biological approaches.

The great traditional and contemporary themes—subjectivity and intersubjectivity, concept of person, emotionality and interpersonality, question of humanity—came under the concern of Edmund Husserl, the founding figure of phenomenology. Many remarkable thinkers have since come out of Husserlian School and thought over these intertwined themes and their mutual relations (a pre-personal comportment in Maurice Merleau-Ponty, or question of humanity, of humanism, of personal agency, normative nature of animal and human subjects, etc.). Currently, phenomenology turns its attention back to its very roots and focuses on the richness of phenomenological analysis in writings of Edmund Husserl. We intend to show that there are inspirational and unexplored questions arising from the thematic field of normativity and generativity—particularly with respect to problems of intersubjectivity and interpersonality—that relate to various specific and interconnected fields of study (social ontology and political phenomenology, phenomenology of person and values, phenomenological aesthetics, moral and religious experience). 

The Yearbook is opened also for different phenomenological topics (miscellanea) and book reviews. The paper extent should be not more than 30 norm pages (54.000 characters, including spaces and footnotes), and in the case of the book reviews 5 norm pages.
