This text examines the many transformations in Husserl¿s phenomenology that his discoveries of the nature of appearing lead to. It offers a comprehensive look at the Logical Investigations¿ delimitation of the phenomenological field, and continues with Husserl¿s account of our consciousness of time. This volume examines Husserl¿s turn to transcendental idealism and the problems this raises for our recognition of other subjects. It details Husserl¿s account of embodiment and takes largely from his manuscripts, both published and unpublished, dealing with his theory of instincts, his considerations of mortality and the teleological character of our existence. This book appeals to students and researchers and presents a genetic account of our selfhood, one that unifies Husserl¿s different claims about who and what we are.

Every attempt to examine our consciousness¿s passive life and its dynamic in its various forms inevitably intersects with our primal awareness of the future. Even though Husserl¿s theory of time-consciousness enjoys a certain fame, his conception of our primordial relation to the future has not been adequately accounted for.The book at hand aims to offer a close study of Husserl¿s view of protentional consciousness and to trace its unique contribution to our overall awareness of time. It offers an extensive analysis of various aspects of protention by investigating its connection to different fields and levels of experience. To achieve such a task, the book stresses the need to enrich the familiar formal account of protention with a material one. Thus, alongside issues pertaining exclusively to the form of protention, such as its relation to fulfillment as well as its double-intentional structure, various other dimensions are discussed, such as the phenomena of disappointment and correction as well as the role hyle plays in both of them. In the same vein, special attention is given to the relation between protentional consciousness and affectivity, thus shedding light on the dynamic unity of our living-present.What this study purports to show is that Husserl¿s phenomenology is equipped to offer a solid account of the thinnest and subtlest ways in which we are aware of the future in our experiential life.

Over the years it has become clear to me that among professional philoso phers, literary critics, scholars concerned with art history and art education, and scientists from various disciplines, there are many who are particularly interested in "Heidegger's philosophy of art".

This book contains twelve engaging philosophical lectures given by Alexandru Dragomir, most of them given during Romania's Communist regime. After studying law and philosophy at the University of Bucharest (1933-1939), he left Romania to study for a doctorate in philosophy in Freiburg, Germany, under Martin Heidegger.

This volume explores Husserl's theory of sensibility and his conceptualization of spatial and temporal constitution. The study interrogates Husserl's understanding of the relationship between spatiality and temporality in terms of stratifications, analogies and parallelisms.

This book shows that the contributions of Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann to a material ethics of value are complementary: supplementing the work of one with that of the other, the editors obtain a comprehensive and defensible axiological and moral theory.

This book shows how phenomenology of the social sciences differs from positivistic approaches. Includes Schutz's theory of relevances, his critique of T.S. Eliot's theory of culture, and an ethnographic description of the diary of his first visit to the U.S.

These writings by Alfred Schutz, some in their first English translation, examine the "normative" areas of literature and ethics, addressing the author-reader relationship, multiple realities, the literary province of meaning, and Schutz's views on equality.

This comprehensive appraisal of one of the greatest and most influential philosophers of the 20th century results from Dorion Cairns's remarkable association with Husserl, informed by a close personal relationship with the thinker that spanned some three years.

This volume contains Gurwitsch's magnum opus, which emphasizes how items in the thematic field are relevant to the theme. It is introduced by his student Richard Zaner. This volume also includes the posthumous text, Marginal Consciousness.

This is the first of six volumes of Gurwitsch's writings. It documents his thought while in France and includes the text based on his four lecture courses at the Sorbonne during the 1930s plus autobiographical sketches and critical reviews of works by others.

The first group of six essays is concerned with relating Husserlian phenomenology to more contem porary analytic concerns: in fact, the opening essay on Husserl and Frege establishes a certain continuity of concern with my last published book with that title.

In treating the problems from the phenomenological point of view, I have often taken into account the views of the empirical-analytical school in general. It should be clear that instead of confining myself to a bare exposition of the different aspects of Husserlian Phenomenology, I have taken some freedom in interpreting its point of view.

And, instead of hailing Levinas as the critic whose stress on the alterity of the Other corrects Heidegger's existential solipsism, the problems into which Levinas runs in defining that alterity call for a different diagnosis and a corresponding change in the course that phenomenology has taken since.

To become fully aware of the original and radical character of his transcendental phenomenology Edmund Husserl must be located within the historical tradition of Western philosophy.
