We know the philosophy that addresses the things themselves or phenomena beyond the stream of trivialities as phenomenology and seeks to remain, to remain in what really appears and not only in what is said. Thus, it breaks with “talking for the sake of talking” and asks what is being talked about.

This way of philosophizing, which represents an oasis for those who are not satisfied with the trivialities of everyday life and seek to stop and think about what things are, has opened other contemporary paths such as hermeneutics. Both phenomenology and hermeneutics are ways of maintaining strangeness in the face of what happens and to which we cannot remain oblivious.

This book seeks to exemplify ways in which strangeness is maintained before the world by thematizing various regions that concern us: technique, history, art, praxis, theory, revelation, metaphysics, religion. The questions raised here have in common that they address and develop the problems from some phenomenological and/or hermeneutic perspective.

We trust that this publication contributes to giving thoughtful impulses to continue keeping us strange.
