Questions of Phenomenology: Language, Alterity, Temporality, Finitude (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780823233731)

Françoise Dastur is well respected in France and Europe for her mastery of phenomenology as a movement and her clear and cogent explications of phenomenology in movement. These qualities are on display in this remarkable volume.

Dastur guides the reader through a series of phenomenological questions--language and logic, self and other, temporality and history, finitude and mortality--that also call phenomenology itself into question, testing its limits and pushing it in new directions. Like Merleau-Ponty, Dastur sees phenomenology not as a doctrine, a catalogue of concepts and catchphrases authored by a single thinker, but as a movement in which several thinkers participate, each inflecting the movement in unique ways. In this regard, Dastur is both one of the clearest guides to phenomenology and one of its ablest practitioners.
