Art, literature, and Passions of the Skies

Edited by Anne-Teresa Tymieniecka 

Volume CXII contains studies that investigate how the passions of the skies influence literature and fine arts. While our reason focalizes on the discovery of our cosmic position, origin and destination on the architecture of the universe, our poetic imagination is nourished by the glimmers of starlight and the majesty of infinite space.

Phenomenology of Space and Time

Edited by Anne-Teresa Tymieniecka 

This book celebrates the investigative power of phenomenology to explore the phenomenological sense of space and time in conjunction with the phenomenology of intentionality, the invisible, the sacred, and the mystical. It examines the course of life through its ontopoietic genesis, opening the cosmic sphere to logos. The work also explores, on the one hand, the intellectual drive to locate our cosmic position in the universe and, on the other, the pull toward the infinite. It intertwines science and its grounding principles with imagination in order to make sense of the infinite.

Phenomenology of the Object and Human Positioning: Human, Non-Human and Posthuman

Edited by Calley A. Hornbuckle, Jadwiga S. Smith, William S. Smith

This edited volume explores the intersections of the human, nonhuman, transhuman, and posthuman from a phenomenological perspective. Representing perspectives from several disciplines, these investigations take a closer look at the relationship between the phenomenology of life, creative ontopoiesis, and otherness; technology and the human; art and the question of humanity; nonhumans, animals, and intentionality; and transhumanism. Ontological positioning of the human is reconsidered with regard to the nonhuman, transhuman, and posthuman within the cosmos. Further examination of the artificial and object in the lifeworld is also explored. This volume also pays tribute to Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and her methodical contributions to phenomenology. This text appeals to students and researchers of phenomenology worldwide.
