Book launch: The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Mindfulness

The PhenoLab cordially invites you to the book launch of The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Mindfulness.

Speakers at this event include Michel Bitbol, Natalie Depraz, Dermot Moran, Marc Applebaum, Diego D’Angelo, Francesca Greco, Kurt Mertel, Georgios Petropoulos (TBD), 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.


The fact that at the moment phenomenology of mindfulness is not a classical topic of re­search, with many new ideas and lines of research being explored, makes this Handbook quite different from other traditional reference works that map current research. Instead, this Handbook wants to map uncharted territory, pointing out main problems and direc­tions for future research.

The Handbook is a valuable resource for those researching phenomenology and applications of phenomenology, this handbook will also be of great interest to students and practitioners of mindfulness in areas such as counselling and psychotherapy.
