Roman Ingarden and Our Times: Recent Trends in Phenomenology and Contemporary Philosophy

The present book is an illustration of current approach to Roman Ingarden’s philosophy and to contemporary philosophy in general. Significantly, the articles contained herein are the works of authors representing various research centers around the world. This clearly demonstrates that Ingarden’s philosophical thought continues to be inspiring, regardless of whether individual researchers interpret it positively or negatively. At the same time, it should be emphasized that the present volume is not a commemorative publication devoted solely to the person and thought of Ingarden. The open formula of the book was intended to encourage and invite researchers representing various schools of philosophical thinking (both close to as well as distant from phenomenology) to publish in the present monographic volume. This applies to polemics both within and without the realm of phenomenology. In each case, we are dealing with an in-depth discussion which may serve as an inspiration for readers interested in a plethora of philosophical problems. The statements presented in this volume are offered in the spirit of research and creative exchange of views.
