Phenomenology was one of the leading movements in twentieth-century philosophy and continues to exert a strong influence on many contemporary philosophical traditions and issues. In recent years, phenomenological insights have been increasingly applied to ‘political’ topics such as race, gender and the environment and a new, distinct field of critical phenomenology has emerged. Magrì and McQueen's Critical Phenomenology: An Introduction is the first book of its kind, addressing the applied questions that are becoming a core part of phenomenology today. This book provides a concise, accessible introduction to critical themes including intersubjectivity, race, gender, vulnerability, and freedom. In so doing, it demonstrates both the rich history of phenomenology and its continuing philosophical and social importance. This textbook will be essential reading for undergraduate philosophy students and academics interested in critical phenomenology.
