Études Phénoménologiques / Phenomenological Studies is a peer-reviewed journal publishing, onearticles in French and English both in print and online. The journal follows the same spirit of openness to various perspectives that was to be found in Études Phénoménologiques, which was founded in 1985 by Jacques Taminiaux, who remained its editor until 2008. The publication of the journal is the result of a collaboration between the Centre d’études phénoménologiques at the Université catholique de Louvain and the Department of Philosophy at Marquette University. It is published by Peeters and edited by Pol Vandevelde and Danielle Lories.
The journal is dedicated to the general task of showing the relevance and fruitfulness of phenomenology for contemporary issues in philosophy, and of being a forum for discussion of such issues. One of its goals is to bridge the gap between history and philosophy, between continental and analytic philosophy, and between theory and application. The journal welcomes (1) historical studies of particular authors within the phenomenological tradition or historical accounts of particular issues as well as (2) systematic analyses of a topic or a problem on which phenomenology can make a contribution.
The first five issues of the journal focus on :
- Phenomenology and the Challenges of the Philosophy of Mind (1, 2017)
- Life as a Phenomenon: Phenomenological Variations (2, 2018)
- La phénoménologie à l’épreuve du politique (3, 2019)
- Perception Reconsidered: 75 Years after Merleau-Ponty’s Breakthrough (4, 2020)
- Intercultural Encounters (5, 2021, in preparation)
