On the occasion of the publication of the scientific monograph entitled Thinking Togetherness. Phenomenology and Sociality<\/em> (ed. by A. Bo\u017ei\u010d), representing a comprehensive collective effort, within which 32 scholars from different countries interpret various fundamental aspects of the phenomenological approach to the question of the social dimension of human co-existence in the world, the Institute Nova Revija for the Humanities organized an international conference dedicated to the elucidation of the phenomenology of sociality in Central and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phenomenology has since its commencement at the dawn of the 20th<\/sup> century evolved into one of the central and vivacious philosophical movements that integrally entails the discussion of sociality. The foundational work of E. Husserl was carried onwards and additionally advanced by his students and their successors. If Husserl\u2019s theory of intersubjectivity stands at the heart\u2014and at the crossroads where paths converge or diverge\u2014of the phenomenological disputations concerning the problematic of the social, its heritors, among whom one can designate a plenitude of independent thinkers, such as M. Heidegger, E. Fink, G. Walther, A. Sch\u00fctz, H. Arendt, and many others, often contested it with critically accentuated reflections. Through the endeavors of the latter, phenomenological thought quite early began to gradually exert its influence also within the philosophical circles of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, where it has, at least to a certain degree, found one of its academic domiciles. Today, especially the Central and East European Society for Phenomenology (CEESP) seeks to gather, with its activities, the scholars affiliated to the field of phenomenology into a mutually supportive community. In 2021, the annual meeting of the CEESP was organized as an online event by the Institute Nova Revija for the Humanities: its thematic focus on the relation between phenomenology and sociality formulated the basis for the book Thinking Togetherness<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The international conference, at which several representatives and active members of the CEESP presented their contributions, offered the opportunity, on the one hand, to encourage the profound scrutiny of further facets of the already accomplished phenomenological conceptualizations of the social as well as, on the other hand, to enhance from different stances the knowledge regarding their multilayered resonances within the historical and the contemporary development of philosophy in Central and Eastern Europe. If the theoretical contemplation upon the problems of sociality assumes a dis-position of crucial importance within phenomenology, it has, as numerous (personal and professional) destinies of personalities appertaining to the movement testify, likewise lead phenomenology through\u2014at times paradoxically contrary\u2014dis-engagement to conflicts within the practical effectuation of sociality: as humanity itself, the phenomenological thinking had\u2014and still needs?\u2014to endure (the consequences of) the catastrophic cataclysms and the turbulent perturbations of the 20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst within the first quarter of the 21st<\/sup> century phenomenology\u2014both globally as well as in the whole of Europe\u2014occupies a (more or less) consolidated (and\u2014less or more\u2014respected) place within the purportedly autonomous, self-sufficient sphere of the academic world (of the humanities), the challenges of all the heterogenous\u2014military and medical, ecologic and economic, etc.\u2014crises, with which humanity today is confronted, maybe, once more, require a (new? renewed?) re-consideration of the question what co-constitutes the human as a social being, a being of togetherness. How can phenomenological philosophy, also in Central and Eastern Europe, contribute to the conversation about the traces (of the primordial experience? of the basic evidence?) of the inter-human in-between within society today? How will\u2014and does?\u2014it<\/em>, how do\u2014and will?\u2014we<\/em> respond?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
