The Encyclopedia of Phenomenology presents a comprehensive mapping of phenomenological thought on a global scale within philosophy and related disciplines. It appeals to researchers in philosophy and related theoretical/applied disciplines, as well as to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

The Introduction surveys the current state and significance of international phenomenological research and the 200+ entries address five categories: figures; concepts (life-world, noema, Dasein, etc.) and methods; themes and tendencies; contributions and debates; and finally, cross-fertilizations. Research in the field has developed on an international scale resulting in a need for such a state-of-art encyclopedia. This reference work is the source in phenomenology for readers looking to verify terms, figures, and themes as well as to build upon for further publications.

Provides a solid reference for researchers working outside of philosophy in such applied fields as education, law, and health care Comprehensively covers the state of phenomenological research along with the diversity and international breadth of its topics and contributing authors Records the history and international reception of phenomenology and supports publications on future developments in the field
