Synopses & Reviews
This comprehensive study of Husserl's phenomenology concentrates on Husserl's emphasis on the theory of knowledge. The authors develop a synthetic overview of phenomenology and its relation to logic, mathematics, the natural and human sciences, and philosophy. The result is an example of philology at its best, avoiding technical language and making Husserl's thought accessible to a variety of readers.
Review
"This masterful volume will be the standard overview of Edmund Husserl's philosophy for at least a generation. . . . [It] simply raises Husserl scholarship to a new plateau."
—Lester Embree, William F. Dietrich Eminent Scholar of Philosophy at Florida Atlantic University
