The philosophy journal Eksistenz is now inviting submissions for its 2026 issue titled “Wege zur Phänomenologie” (Paths to Phenomenology), scheduled for publication in June 2026.
Is a phenomenology — and a philosophy of phenomenology — possible? If so, how? Through which paths may one enter phenomenology? These questions were central to Edmund Husserl’s lifelong philosophical pursuit. The very titles of his works — The Idea of Phenomenology (1907), Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and to a Phenomenological Philosophy (1913), and Cartesian Meditations (1931) — reveal this persistent inquiry. The discussion has continued in Husserl scholarship, exploring the Cartesian path, the path of the life-world, and the path of descriptive psychology.
Some scholars have further elaborated on the Leibnizian path to phenomenology in their lectures and writings. Given that phenomenology remains an open and developing discipline, questions about its possibility — and the paths through which it may unfold — remain highly pertinent. We therefore invite contributions that engage with this theme from a variety of philosophical perspectives.
