Ten essays (previously published in such journals as The Review of Politics and Human Studies ) contemplate the contributions of phenomenology to the philosophy of political science, and offer a critique of the two other major paradigms in political thought: behavioralism and essentialism. Annotatio
Hwa Yol Jung is emeritus professor of political science at Moravian College, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Among his many publications are Rethinking Political Theory and The Crisis of Political Understanding.
"With this volume Hwa Yol Jung solidifies his reputation as one of the foremost, perhaps the foremost spokesman of the phenomenological orientation in political theory and the study of politics...Erudite in its scholarship and lucid in style, the book deserves a wide readership among philosophers and social theorists." (Political Studies) "There is a humanity and humility to Jung's work that is surely to be welcomed and this collection should act as an appropriate reminder that, however much we undermine the centrality of the subject, politics is about real people with real lives." (Radical Philosophy)
