In 1900 Edmund Husseri introduced to the world the idea of a new philosophy, "phenomenology," which, with its offspring "existentialism," has gradually become the dominant continental European philosophy. Husseri demanded of philosophy both a new rigor and a new humanism. He first showed how the philosopher can recover, by a kind of mental leap that Husseri calls the transcendental reduction, the ability to describe with scientific exactness the life of consciousness in its primordial encounter with the world about it. In addition he accused science of inundating Western European culture with abstractions that parade as final truth; he wished to ubderpin the accumulations of "facts" with more trustworthy descriptions of "essences" as they are presented to consciousness in a primordial intuition prepared by a reduction from the world of science to the life-world. With readings drawn from Husseri and his commentators, the editor presents an illuminating portrait of phenomenolgy as Husseri developed it between 1900 and 1938.

In "Heidegger's "Being and Time"," the author locates the main themes of Heidegger's seminal work within their historical context and, in the process, familiarizes the reader with the terminology and background information relevant to understanding Heidegger's text. This study of what is arguably the greatest philosophical text of the century takes the ontological view of Heidegger's work. Here the author presents a precise formulation of the genuine problem of the meaning of Being, an explanation of the fact that Being is for us problematic and should be so, and a precise determination and articulation of the mode of Being of man (using the hermeneutical and transcendental analytic of Dasein). Contents: I. The Preparatory Fundamental nalysis of Dasein II. Dasein and Temporality. Bibliography. Index. Co-published with The Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology.

Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) has secured a place in the history of Western thought as one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. As the principal architect of phenomenology, he inaugurated a method and conceptual framework that advances inquiries in the fields of logic, epistemology, ontology, ethics, and the philosophy of history. In Edmund Husserl's Phenomenology, Joseph J. Kockelmans provides the reader with a biographical sketch and an overview of the salient features of Husserl's thought. Kockelmans focuses on the essay for the Encyclopedia Britannica of 1928, Husserl's most important effort to articulate the aims of phenomenology for a more general audience. Included are Husserl’s text – in the original German and in English translation on facing pages – a synopsis, and an extensive commentary that relates Husserl's work as a whole to the essay for the Encyclopedia. Edmund Husserl's Phenomenology is recommended for graduate courses in philosophy and psychology and for scholars of other disciplines interested in the roots of phenomenology and contemporary continental philosophy.
