Varieties of Intuition in Early Phenomenology

The annual conference of the North American Society for Early Phenomenology will be held at the Université de Montréal, May 28-29th. The keynote speakers are Maxime Doyon (UdeM) and Iris Laner (Mozarteum Salzburg).    Conference Theme: Varieties of Intuition in Early Phenomenology: One of the most inspiring aspects of the early phenomenological movement was its expanded notion of intuition. Breaking from models centred on sense-data and concept-application, early phenomenologists investigated diverse forms of intuitions as intentions of presence and absence, immediacy and mediacy, while also reconceiving the role of norms and values in sensory consciousness. In this way, early phenomenologists offered new orientations for investigations of perception, aesthetic contemplation, imagination, memory, empathy, and more. Relatedly, this expansive intuitive register enabled them to produce rich descriptions of perceptual objects, artworks, fictional entities, other minds, essences, laws, and values. NASEP welcomes papers exploring the contribution of early phenomenologists to varieties of intuition and papers illustrating how these contributions have informed more recent approaches to philosophical investigations into sensory, aesthetic consciousness, broadly construed. We are particularly interested in papers that draw attention to thinkers and problems that have been historically neglected and/or underrepresented.
