Ingardeniana

Más información sobre el libro

This volume commemorates the 20th anniversary of Roman Ingarden's death, focusing on his thought and its relevance to contemporary research in aesthetics. It may seem surprising to followers of the Analecta Husserliana that discussions within our International Society of Phenomenology and Literature often reflect Ingardenian ideas, despite the differing directions of our research. The reason, as noted in the introduction to Ingardeniana II by Hans Rudnik, lies in Ingarden's analysis of the intentional structures of art, which provides a clear 'objective' correlate and reference point for understanding the complexities of the creative endeavors of writers, poets, and artists. This exploration aims to unravel the intricate issues surrounding the human significance of life. Ingarden's thought, reinterpreted and expanded, holds a rightful place in this collection. It includes an original expansion of his aesthetic theory in a monograph by Ladwiga Smith, followed by essays from Wadaw Osadnik, Yushiro Takei, and Charles Rzepka, contributing to a deeper understanding of his influence on contemporary aesthetics.
