Here is the first and only collection of essays honoring the work of Rudolf Bernet, a philosopher of worldwide authority. Â The essays are centered on three major themes of Bernetâs philosophical itinerary: life, seen from a phenomenological point of view, its relation to subjectivity, experiences and consciousness, and both seen as the ground for an original reflection on art, specifically paintings. Â The contributors are eminent phenomenologists and scholars closely related to Rudolf Bernet, as person and as philosopher: colleagues, friends and collaborators, former students. Taken as a whole, this volume is a testiment to Bernetâs philosophical inspiration and influence, and the enduring importance of his own books, articles and classes.
