Publisher Page

Transcendental phenomenology has a reputation of avoiding engagements with other scientists and philosophers, contemporary or past. Pure description of absolute consciousness demands, according to Husserl, a ‘bracketing’ of all scientific results, philosophical ideas, and of argumentation altogether. The phenomenological philosopher operates in a self-enclosed and systematically expanding field that is built up entirely from a priori principles, without being misguided by the theories and systems of knowledge constructed in the worlds of dogmatic science and philosophy.

This book continues Dan Zahavi’s ongoing discussion of the closely related themes of subjectivity, selfhood, intersubjectivity, and sociality. Following several other books he has previously published on these topics, this one presents Zahavi’s considered views on them primarily through a critical engagement with a whole range of contemporary philosophers’ and empirical researchers’ theories on selfhood, subjectivity, and the underpinnings of human social interaction, with special attention to the phenomena of empathy and shame. Generally speaking, the result is a validation of insights achieved in the phenomenological tradition by thinkers such as Max Scheler, Edmund Husserl, Edith Stein, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Alfred Schutz. In each case, though, Zahavi relies on his own phenomenological analyses that guide his readings of these thinkers’ works as he translates their findings into his own independently developed terminology.

“Phenomenological Reviews”

phenoreviewsblueThe Open Commons of Phenomenology and sdvig press have the pleasure to announce the launch of a new journal:

Phenomenological Reviews

edited by Prof. Anthony Steinbock (Southern Illinois University) and Iulian Apostolescu (University of Bucharest).

The journal is dedicated to the publication of book reviews related to phenomenology and the phenomenological movement (both understood very broadly as extending to disciplines across the humanities and beyond).

Reviews will be published here in digital form almost immediately upon acceptance (after the necessary proofreading and editing) . All texts will be available in open access without embargoes and be given a DOI for citation purposes. They will also be archived for long-term preservation and reference in the database of the Open Commons of Phenomenology.

Further, all reviews will be collected at regular intervals (starting on a twice-yearly basis) and published in print form by sdvig press.

You are welcome to submit book reviews for inclusion in the journal. Please follow our Submission Guidelines.

Terms of use


1. Access to our Site


You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you
to have access to the Site. You are also responsible for ensuring
that all persons who access our Site through your internet connection
are aware of these terms, and that they comply with them.


We reserve the right to restrict access to, withdraw or amend the
service we provide on our Site without notice. We will not be liable
if for any reason our Site is unavailable at any time or for any
period. We aim to update our Site regularly and may change the
content at any time. Any of the material on our Site may be out of
date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such
material.


sdvig press is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development
and distribution of multilingual academic content, and to hosting the
full content of its Projects for the public. In some cases, we act
only as a hosting service, maintaining the infrastructure and
organizational framework that allows our users to build the sdvig
press Projects by contributing and editing content themselves.
Because of this unique role, there are a couple of things you should
be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects,
and the other users:


You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on
sdvig press Projects, so for your own protection you should exercise
caution and avoid contributing any content that may result in
criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity,
applicable law includes at least the laws of Switzerland. Although we
may not agree with such actions, we warn editors and contributors
that authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you,
including local laws where you live or where you view or edit
content. sdvig press cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity
or indemnification.


2. Privacy Policy


We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.


Because our services are used by people all over the world,
personal information that we collect may be stored and processed in
Switzerland or any other country in which we or our agents maintain
facilities. By using our services, you consent to any such transfer
of information outside your country.


We may collect and process the following data about you:



  • Information about your computer,
    including where available your IP address, operating system and
    browser type, for system administration. This is statistical data
    about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not
    identify any individual;


  • Information that you provide by
    completing the registration process, buying products from us,
    filling in forms on our Site or answering questions over the
    telephone;


  • Information relating to any
    transactions carried out between you and us on or in relation to our
    digital resources;

    usage pattern.


  • To store information about your
    preferences, and so allow us to customise our Site according to your
    individual interests.


  • To speed up your searches.


  • To recognise you when you return to our Site.

of our Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it
will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to
our Site.


We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our Site. Google
Analytics generates statistical and other information about website
use by means of cookies. The information generated relating to our
Site is used to create reports about the use of our Site. Google will

    interest you;

    arising from any contracts entered into between you and us;


  • To notify you about changes to our service.



Except as provided in this document, we will not provide your
information to third parties.


If you do not want to receive e-mail from us then please do NOT
sign up to our mailing list and/or tick the relevant box when you
register or order products from us to indicate that you do not wish
to be contacted. If you have signed up to our mailing list and have
changed your mind, simply choose the unsubscribe link in any email

you receive no further communications from us.


We may disclose your personal information to any member of our
group, which means our subsidiaries, our holding companies and its
subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the Companies Act 2006.
We will not disclose your personal information to any third parties,
save for in circumstances where:



  • we sell or buy any business or
    assets or where our business or assets are bought by any third
    party; or


  • we need to comply with any legal
    obligations; or


  • we need to enforce our legal rights whether through legal
    proceedings or otherwise.



3. Content We Host



  1. You may find some material
    objectionable or erroneous:
    Because we provide a wide array of
    content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may
    encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading,
    mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you
    use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.


  2. Our content is for general informational purposes only:
    Although we host a great deal of information that pertains to
    professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues,
    this content is presented for general informational purposes only.
    It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek
    independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or
    qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any
    information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project
    websites.



4. Refraining from Certain Activities


Many Projects hosted by sdvig press only exist because of the
vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit,
and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this
community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your
interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and
to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of
the shared Project.


Certain activities, whether legal or illegal, may be harmful to
other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also
subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for
that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on our
sites. These activities include:


Harassing and Abusing Others



  • Engaging in harassment, threats, stalking, spamming, or
    vandalism; and


  • Transmitting chain mail, junk mail, or spam to other users.

    Switzerland or other applicable laws (which may include the laws
    where you live or where you view or edit content);

    of harassment, exploitation, violation of privacy, or any
    promotional or commercial purpose not explicitly approved by sdvig
    press; and

    libel or defamation;

    under applicable law; and


  • Using the services in a manner that is inconsistent with
    applicable law.



Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities



  • Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses,
    malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that

    users;


  • Engaging in automated uses of the site that are abusive or
    disruptive of the services and have not been approved by the sdvig
    press community;


  • Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on a
    Project website or the networks or servers connected with a Project
    website;

    your work);


  • you report any vulnerabilities to sdvig press developers (or
    fix it yourself); and


  • you do not undertake such actions with malicious or
    destructive intent.



We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with
respect to the above terms.


5. Registration & Password Security


Certain services on our Site are only available if you complete
the registration process.


By completing the registration process, you are confirming that
you are at least eighteen years of age or a minor with consent of
your parent or guardian to use our Sites. All minors must discuss
these terms and conditions with their parents or guardians before
completing the registration process.


In return for you using our Site and benefiting from our services,
you agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information
about yourself where required in the registration form, and to ensure
that this information is kept accurate, complete and up to date.


Once you have completed the registration process, you will have
specified a username (email address) and a password. You must ensure
that you keep your username and password in a safe and secure place
and that you do not disclose them to anyone because you will be fully
responsible for all activities which occur under your username and
password. It is your responsibility to immediately notify us of any
unauthorised use of your username and password or any other breach of
security as soon as you become aware of it. We have the right to
disable any username and password, whether chosen by you or allocated
by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with
any provision of these terms of use.


6. Trademarks


Although you have considerable freedoms for re-use of the content
on the Project websites, it is important that, at sdvig press, we
protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from
fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please
respect our trademarks.


7. Licensing of Content


To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users
contributing to the Projects are required to grant broad permissions
to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions
freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same
freedom to re-use and re-distribute is granted to any derivative
works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the
widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all
submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone
who cares to access it.


You agree to the following licensing requirements:



  1. Text to which you hold the copyright: When you submit
    text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:



    (Re-users may comply with either license or both.)


    Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your
    contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms.


  2. Attribution: Attribution is an important part of these
    licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due –
    to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be
    attributed in any of the following fashions:



    • Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to
      which you contributed (since each article has a history page that
      lists all authors and editors);


    • Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative,
      stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with
      the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner
      equivalent to the credit given on the Project website; or


    • Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list
      of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant
      contributions).



  3. Importing text: You may import text that you have
    found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in
    such case you warrant that the text is available under terms that
    are compatible with the CC BY-SA 3.0 license (or, as explained
    above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project
    edition or feature) ("CC BY-SA"). Content available only
    under GFDL is not permissible.


    You agree that, if you import text under a CC BY-SA license that
    requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable
    fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories
    (such as sdvig press-internal copying), it is sufficient to give
    attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page
    history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are
    sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of
    the license), and there may be instances where the sdvig press
    community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.


  4. Non-text media: Non-text media on the Projects are
    available under a variety of different licenses that support the
    general goal of allowing unrestricted re-use and re-distribution.
    When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the
    requirements for such licenses as described in our Licensing
    Policy
    , and also comply with the requirements of the specific
    Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see
    the Wikimedia
    Commons Licensing Policy
    for more information on contributing
    non-text media to that Project.


  5. No revocation of license: Except as consistent with
    your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or
    seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these
    Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the
    sdvig press Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our
    services.


  6. Public domain content: Content that is in the public
    domain is welcome! It is important however that you confirm the
    public domain status of the content under the law of Switzerland as
    well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific
    Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public
    domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public
    domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.


  7. Re-use: Re-use of content that we host is welcome,
    though exceptions exist for content contributed under "fair
    use" or similar exemptions under copyright law. Any re-use must
    comply with the underlying license(s).


    When you re-use or re-distribute a text page developed by the
    sdvig press community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of
    the following fashions:



    • Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or
      pages that you are re-using (since each page has a history page
      that lists all authors and editors);


    • Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative,
      stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with
      the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner
      equivalent to the credit given on the Project website; or


    • Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list
      of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant
      contributions).



    If the text content was imported from another source, it is
    possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA
    license but not GFDL (as described in “Importing text,”
    above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC
    BY-SA license and do not have the option to re-license it under
    GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you
    seek to re-use or re-distribute, you should review the page footer,
    page history, and discussion page.


    In addition, please be aware that text that originated from
    external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a
    license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users
    agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly.
    Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear for example
    in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the
    content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such
    visible notations, re-users should preserve them.


    For any non-text media, you agree to comply with whatever license
    under which the work has been made available (which can be
    discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing
    section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source
    page for that work). When re-using any content that we host, you
    agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they
    pertain to the underlying license or licenses.


  8. Modifications or additions to material that you re-use:
    When modifying or making additions to text that you have
    obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified
    or added content under CC BY-SA 3.0 or later (or, as explained
    above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific
    Project edition or feature).


    When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you
    have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the
    modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under
    which the work has been made available.


    With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly
    indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are
    re-using text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the
    page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each
    copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a
    licensing notice stating which license the work is released under,
    along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a
    copy of the license itself.



8. DMCA Compliance


sdvig press wants to ensure that the content that we host can be
re-used by other users without fear of liability and that it is not
infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our
users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy
is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the
formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Pursuant
to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users
and account holders of our system and network who are repeat
infringers.


However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid
or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file
counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown
demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if
you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to
consult the Chilling
Effects
website.


If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on
one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the
content be removed under the DMCA. To make such a request, please
contact us.


9. Third-party Websites and Resources


You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party
websites or resources. Although the Projects contain links to
third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not
responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the
related content, products, or services (including, without
limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have
any obligation to monitor such third-party content.


10. Management of Websites


The need may arise to address an especially problematic user
because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In
such cases, we reserve the right, but do not have the obligation to:



  • Investigate your use of the
    service (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use,
    Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has
    occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process,
    or appropriate governmental request;


  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise
    address fraud, security, or technical issues or respond to user
    support requests;


  • Refuse, disable, or restrict
    access to the contribution of any user who violates these Terms of
    Use;


  • Ban a user from editing or
    contributing or block a user’s account or access for actions
    violating these Terms of Use, including repeat copyright
    infringement;


  • Take legal action against users
    who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement
    authorities); and


  • Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to
    facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights,
    property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors,
    partners, and the public.



In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme
circumstance that any individual has had his or her account or access
blocked under this provision, he or she is prohibited from creating
or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project,
unless we provide explicit permission. sdvig press itself will not
ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user’s account or
access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in
actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.


The sdvig press community and its members may also take action
when so allowed by the community or sdvig press policies applicable
to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to
warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those
policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute
resolution bodies that are established by the community for the
specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these
decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the
specific Project edition.


Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access
blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all
of the Project editions, in accordance with the Global
Ban Policy
. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of
Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single
Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban
Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its
own procedures.


The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user
under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 12 of these
Terms of Use.


11. Resolutions and Project Policies


12. Termination


Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the
Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain
(hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either
ourselves or the sdvig press community or its members (as described
in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate
these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a
user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated
for any reason, your public contributions will remain publicly
available (subject to applicable policies), and, unless we notify you
otherwise, you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose
of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such
circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or
settings. We reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any
time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after
your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise
suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to
relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-15, and 17.


13.
Disputes and Jurisdiction


We hope that no serious
disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a
dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute
resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or
Project editions and sdvig press. If you seek to file a legal claim
against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state
or federal court located in Geneva, Switzerland. You also agree that
the laws of the Canton of Geneva and, to the extent applicable, the
laws of Switzerland will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any
legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to
conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts
located in Geneva, Switzerland, in any legal action or proceeding
relating to us or these Terms of Use.


To ensure that disputes are
dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any
statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you
might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these
Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of
limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts
underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered
with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred).


14.
