Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP)
Having its roots in phenomenology and existentialism, the SPEP series has brought out an impressive selection of works fundamental to continental philosophy for nearly five decades, including works by and about Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur, and Edmund Husserl. In addition to making classic authors and texts available to contemporary readers, SPEP is committed to providing translations of key international books and to publishing a new generation of thinkers. It provides a forum for promising scholarly studies on contemporary figures and welcomes significant contributions to pressing philosophical topics and existential problems.

In Self-Awareness and Alterity, Dan Zahavi provides a sustained argument that phenomenology, especially in its Husserlian version, can contribute something decisive to our understanding of self-awareness.
This book argues that Husserl’s reflections on Europe led him to develop the most compelling and radical interpretation on the intersubjective, communal, and historical dimensions of his phenomenology.
