Generative Worlds. New Phenomenological Perspectives on Space and Time delves into the phenomenological concept of generativity, bringing together a collection of recent phenomenological studies on space and time. Through these transformative readings, the book explores new dimensions in topics such as life generation, birth, historicity, intersubjectivity, narrativity, institution, touching, and places. In some instances, the contributors challenge traditional definitions of space and time, offering fresh perspectives on these fundamental concepts. This interdisciplinary exchange between philosophy and fields like cosmology, psychology, and the social sciences is enriched by the contributors' inquiry into whether phenomenology achieves its own concreteness through the study of generation and whether it can redefine certain dimensions of space and time that remain too abstract and detached from the constitutive becoming of experience.
