Abstract

An overview of the development of phenomenology in America, 1964-1984, within the philosophical context of the time, including the academic practices and politics of the time. Examination is made of the different practices of Anglophone analytic philosophy and European continental, including phenomenological practices. A tracing of the beginnings of the institutionalization of phenomenology related philosophy in relation to the then dominant analytic philosophical dominance with specific references to academic locations, graduate education and growth patterns is described.
