The Routledge Handbook of Political Phenomenology

Steffen Herrmann is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany.

The Routledge Handbook of Political Phenomenology is the first major collection on this important topic. Ideal for those studying phenomenology, continental philosophy and political theory, it bridges an important gap between a major philosophical movement and contemporary political issues and concepts.
