THE ROUTLEDGE COMPANION TO PHENOMENOLOGY Phenomenology was one of the twentieth century’s major philosophical movements and continues to be a vibrant and widely studied subject today. The Routledge Com- panion to Phenomenology is an outstanding guide and reference source to the key philosophers, topics and themes in this exciting subject and essential reading for any student and scholar of phenomenology.
