Between You and I - Dialogical Phenomenology (Hardcover)

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. Beata Stawarska remedies this neglect by bringing relevant contributions from cognate empirical disciplines--
such as sociolinguistics and developmental psychology, as well as the dialogic tradition in philosophy--to bear on phenomenological inquiry. Taken together, these contributions substantiate an alternative view of primary I-You connectedness and help foreground the dialogic dimension of both prediscursive and discursive experience. "Between You and I" suggests that phenomenology is best practiced in a dialogical engagement with other disciplines.
