Alexandru Bejinariu, Remus Breazu, Cristian Ciocan (eds.), Phenomenology and the Limits of Experience. Special issue of Human Studies. A Journal for Philosophy and the Social Sciences, Springer, 2025.
This special issue of Human Studies aims to address the multifarious implications of the “limits of experience” in phenomenology. The present contributions thematically explore and expand the spectrum of limit-phenomena by tackling the limits of perception, recollection, experience of the other, empathy, bodily expressivity, sense-making, etc. They also reflect systematically on the limits and borders of phenomenology as a discipline and on its relations to other philosophical or scientific fields and traditions. At the same time, we also methodologically engage with the potentialities of limits, posing questions of phenomenological access to such phenomena, or addressing the relevance of anomalies and extreme cases for a phenomenological eidetics.
