Description:
The purpose of this issue of the Journal “Discipline filosofiche” is to assess the process of re-definition that Husserl’s phenomenology underwent in North America not only from the standpoint of its historical-philosophical implications, but especially in view of its theoretical outcomes. Generally speaking, the papers in English and Italian presented here show that the vicissitudes of phenomenology in North America do not simply tell the story of a transfer of contents across the ocean, for the reception of phenomenology was not merely a matter of passively absorbing a given doctrine. What took place was an active re-elaboration and re-shaping, which gave an important contribution to the development of the great movements that occupied the scene of 20th century North American philosophy: pragmatism, realism (in its different versions), and naturalism (with its articulate debates).
