Reisetagebuch eines Phänomenologen

The travel diary has its origin in world-wide research and teaching contacts. The history of the phenomenological movement is completed by global geography. Intercultural relations have regard to philosophy, science, art, religion and everyday life. Famous names turn up like Boulez, Derrida, Levinas or Ricœur. Authors like Joyce, Kafka Proust and Kierkegaard appear in their home environment. There are trips crossing the black Harlem. One meets traces of war and violence in the streets of Sarajevo or Bogotà and at the memorial places of Auschwitz, Kaunas or Kiev. The margins of Europe are reached in Istanbul, Tbilisi, Tunis and Jerusalem. The author is an international known phenomenologist.
