Bringing together Edmund

Husserl, Martin Heidegger and Jan Patocka, this book provides a comprehensive

examination of the central role that questioning plays in phenomenology. Joel

Hubick not only offers a phenomenological analysis of the activity of asking

questions, but further traces the development of this form of questioning in the

early stages of

the phenomenology movement.

Starting with Husserl's motto

‘to the matters themselves’, Hubick examines how the phenomenological method

utilizes questioning as a means to both return to and to preserve the

phenomena in order to re-experience them anew. He then demonstrates how

Heidegger takes up Husserl's phenomenology as presented in the Logical Investigations and, in doing

so, develops phenomenology into a philosophy of possibility, one that seeks

in equal measure to preserve questions while also answering them. Continuing

this questioning philosophy, this volume showcases how Patocka explicitly

advances what had remained implicit in both Husserl and Heidegger’s works;

namely, phenomenology understood as a set of questions - from ‘what is history?’ to 'who am I?' - all of which elicit original experiences for future generations of

thinkers.

With a close focus on the

primary material of these three fundamental figures, The Phenomenology of Questioning affords a crucial insight into

the history of phenomenological reasoning, as well as a reminder to today’s

phenomenologists to continue asking questions.

This book provides a comprehensive examination of the central role that questioning plays in phenomenology. Joel Hubick not only offers a phenomenological analysis of the activity of asking questions, but further traces the development of this form of questioning in the early stages of the phenomenology movement, from Husserl to Heidegger and Patocka.

This book is ideal for those wishing to grasp the fundamentals of phenomenology either for the first time, or in a novel and fruitful way. * Corry Shores, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Middle East Technical University, Turkey *
