The basic contention of Reflective Analysis is that phenomenology is most fundamentally an approach, rather than a set of texts or concepts: phenomenologizing involves modes of observation and analysis that we can learn to perform better. The author presents his own account step by step, using everyday examples and dealing not only with perceiving and thinking (leading themes for most phenomenologists), but also with valuing and willing. Many charts and diagrams are used to summarize key distinctions, and the book also includes exercises that help readers refine this approach for themselves. The text was designed for college students, and there is a Preface for Instructors who wish to use the book in the classroom, but others will find this a friendly, helpful first introduction that they can study on their own. The work is suitable for students in all disciplines, not just philosophers, and will be especially welcome to any reader who appreciates learning by doing and prefers examples to footnotes.

Reflective Analysis. A First Introduction into Phenomenological Investigation

Lester Embree

<p>This study is a phenomenological inquiry into several relatively unexplored phenomena, including certain key methodological issues. It seeks to elicit and explicate the grounds of free-fantasy variation, which Husserl insists contains his fundamental methodological insight since it articulates the fundamental form of all particular transcendental methods... In the course of pursuing the full sense of this method and its grounds, the essay also uncovers the origins and eventual presence of self and explores the multiple connections among self, mental life, embodiment and the surrounding world. To that end, it is necessary to take seriously Husserl s otherwise odd declaration that feigning [ Fiktion ] makes up the vital element of phenomenology as of every other eidetic science... , and thus that every philosopher must fertilize his or her fantasy through works of art and history as well as other areas and practices of human life. The essay offers an in-depth probing of several striking but largely unexplored phenomena: exemplifying and possibilizing, and concludes with an exploration of one of the most pervasive themes in phenomenological inquiry: intersubjectivity.</p>

At Play in the Field of Possibles: An Essay on the Foundation of Self and Free-Fantasy Variational Method (Pathways in Phenomenology)

Richard M Zaner

Metaphysics and psychology are two of Brentano's main areas of interest in philosophy. His first writings, the dissertation On the Several Senses of Being in Aristotle (1862) and the habilitation thesis, The Psychology of Aristotle (1867), bear witness to the duality of his concerns. As such, these works were not only significant contributions to the German Aristotelianism of the second half of the XIXth century, but they also played an important role in the development of Brentano's later philosophy and in defining his school of thought. At the same time, the dissertation, now celebrating the sesquicentennial of its first publication, was received beyond the immediate sphere of the Brentanian school, for its reading played a significant role in young Heidegger's thought on being, and thus in his development of a new type of phenomenology, distinct from the Husserlian one. The studies comprising this volume examine the relevance of Brentano's dissertation, of his metaphysics and psychology for contemporary philosophical research. Generally, the papers emphasize a tendency in Brentanian research, which has become more conspicuous in the last two decades, and can be described as a gradual shift in focus from the specific problems of Brentano's late philosophy, towards his earlier philosophy, especially his first writings and manuscripts. Taking into account both Brentano's published works, and the manuscripts of the dissertation and the Psychology, the contributions of this volume manage to emphasise unexplored aspects of Brentano's philosophy and stand witness to the complexity and the historical dimension of a legacy whose richness still awaits full discovery.
