THE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF PHENOMENOLOGY OF MINDFULNESS --Book launch

In this video we present a handbook that Dr. Hadjioannou and I (Susi Ferrarello) put together on the theme of mindfulness and phenomenology.
Speakers at this event include Michel Bitbol, Natalie Depraz, Dermot Moran, Marc Applebaum, Diego D’Angelo, Francesca Greco, Kurt Mertel, Georgios Petropoulos, the editors of the Handbook, Susi Ferrarello and Christos Hadjioannou, and the Director of the PhenoLab, Francesca Brencio.
The Handbook provides an overview of the topic of phenomenology and mindfulness with the goal of creating a fruitful dialogue between these two traditions, to bring about possible overlaps and incongruities, exploring historical as well as systematic connections. Applying the concepts and methods of phenomenology, an international team of contributors explore mindfulness from a variety of different viewpoints and traditions.
Within the Handbook’s sections, a rich array of topics and themes are explored, ranging from Stoicism and the origins of mindfulness in Buddhism and eastern thought to meditation, self-awareness, the body and embodiment, and critiques of mindfulness. Additionally, the book delves into the ways the ideas of leading phenomenological thinkers, including Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas, and other leading thinkers, such as Irigaray, can contribute to understanding the relationship between phenomenology and mindfulness.
