    Dialogical Phenomenology

    by Beata Stawarska ...
    Series Book 28 - Series in Continental Thought
    Classical phenomenology has suffered from an individualist bias and a neglect of the communicative structure of experience, especially the phenomenological importance of the addressee, the inseparability of I and You, and the nature of the alternation between them.
