Aims and Scopes

Husserl Studies is dedicated to advancing the understanding of phenomenology, particularly through the lens of Edmund Husserl's work. The journal focuses on both historical and contemporary interpretations of phenomenology, emphasizing its implications across various disciplines.
  1. Phenomenology and Consciousness:
    The journal explores the nature of consciousness as understood through phenomenological methods, emphasizing intentionality, self-awareness, and the structures of experience.
  2. Ethics and Normativity:
    A significant focus is placed on ethical implications derived from phenomenological insights, particularly how Husserl's work informs contemporary discussions on moral philosophy and normativity.
  3. Interdisciplinary Approaches:
    Husserl Studies encourages interdisciplinary research that connects phenomenology with fields such as cognitive science, psychology, and the natural sciences, exploring how phenomenological insights can inform these areas.
  4. Historical Contextualization:
    The journal frequently examines Husserl's work in relation to other philosophical traditions and figures, including Hegel and contemporary analytic philosophy, to contextualize and critique phenomenological approaches.
  5. Aesthetic and Existential Dimensions:
    Research often delves into the aesthetic dimensions of Husserl's thought, including the role of emotion, art, and beauty in human experience, as well as existential themes related to human existence and subjectivity.
Recent publications in Husserl Studies reveal several emerging themes that reflect the evolving landscape of phenomenological research. These themes highlight the journal's responsiveness to contemporary philosophical dialogues and societal concerns.
  1. Embodiment and Affective Experience:
    There is a growing interest in the role of embodiment and affective experiences within phenomenology, emphasizing how physical presence and emotions shape consciousness and interpersonal relations.
  2. Normativity and Values:
    Research increasingly addresses the concepts of normativity and values from a phenomenological perspective, exploring how Husserlian thought can contribute to contemporary ethical discussions and frameworks.
  3. Cognitive Science Integration:
    The integration of phenomenology with cognitive science is on the rise, reflecting an interest in understanding consciousness and perception through empirical and interdisciplinary lenses.
  4. Phenomenology of Emotion:
    The exploration of emotions as fundamental to human experience is gaining traction, with studies focusing on the phenomenological significance of feelings and their implications for understanding human agency and interaction.
  5. Existential Phenomenology:
    There is an increasing emphasis on existential themes within phenomenology, particularly regarding the nature of existence, identity, and the human condition, reflecting broader philosophical trends.

Declining or Waning

While Husserl Studies remains a vibrant forum for phenomenological inquiry, some themes have shown a decline in frequency or prominence in recent publications. This section highlights areas that appear to be waning in focus.
  1. Psychologism:
    Discussions surrounding psychologism, which critiques the conflation of psychological and philosophical analysis, have seen less emphasis. This may indicate a shift towards more normative and existential considerations in phenomenology.
  2. Formal Logic and Mathematical Applications:
    The application of formal logic and mathematical frameworks in phenomenological discussions has become less prevalent, suggesting a move away from strictly analytical approaches towards more qualitative and interpretative analyses.
  3. Historical Figures and Contexts:
    While historical contextualization remains important, the frequency of papers focusing solely on historical figures outside of Husserl, such as Lotze or Kant, has decreased, indicating a potential narrowing of focus to primarily Husserlian themes.
