Issues in Phenomenology and Hermeneutics presents original research work that appeals to the phenomenological method while also being informed by the tradition of hermeneutics. The books in this series abide by the rigor of traditional Husserlian phenomenology and bridge the gap between philosophical, religious, literary and legal hermeneutics. Informed by current debates within both these fields, the series advances and promotes dialogue between the two movements.
