It is no secret for anybody that the situation of the Phenomenological movement in Central and Eastern Europe was strongly marked by the political context. In the 50ies-80ies phenomenological research was considered as belonging to «reactionary bourgeois philosophy». Isolation, with no connection to the intellectual currents of the broader world became the destiny of many thinkers. It was this specific historical situation that molded phenomenological research in its particularity. Today we keep rediscovering personalities such as Aleksandr Drahomir, Vaclav Havel, Roman Ingarden, Karel Kosik, Krzysztof Michalski, Jan Patocka, Jozef Tischner, Karol Wojtyla, Gustav Spet and many others. Their thought constitutes rich heritage which still marks our contemporary horizons. When working on the special issue, we pursued two main goals: (1) presenting the context, central figures, tendencies and periods in phenomenology in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and (2) pointing out the original contributions made by philosophers in these countries to ongoing phenomenological debates. At present phenomenologists from Central and Eastern Europe actively participate in the global exchange of ideas. Processes of globalization have made the phenomenological movement more unified than ever. Nevertheless, it is crucial to show the specificity and originality of the contribution of the thinkers from these countries to contemporary phenomenology.
