This work employs Husserl's concept of responsibility as a guiding clue for the clarification of the self-understanding of phenomenology as a "rigorous science". The author refers, in particular, to Derrida's reading of Husserl.

Merleau-Ponty in contemporary perspective: this was the theme of the conference at the Institute of Philosophy, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (K.

In this analysis of Ingarden's epistemology, his theory of intentionality and the general aspects of his ontology are presented in relation to the Husserlian and Brentanian traditions and analyzd with the conceptual tools of contemporary analytical philosophy.

Despite, or perhaps better by virtue of, its very brevity, Appearance and Sense is a difficult text to read and understand, particularly if we make the attempt independently of Husserl's Ideas I.

Diese Untersuchung zeigt, daß es zwischen der singulären Wahrnehmung von Gegenständen und der objektiven und kommunizierbaren Erkenntnis ein `Mittleres' gibt, d.h. eine bereits beständige und spezifische Vorform von Erkenntnis, die weder nur Wahrnehmung ist noch schon Erkenntnis darstellt. Husserl war der erste, der explizit die Eigenständigkeit der vorprädikativen Erfahrung behauptet hat. Dennoch zeigt sich, daß die Sache und die erkenntnisermöglichende Funktion der vorprädikativen Erfahrung bereits von Hume und Kant untersucht wurden. Auf dem Grund des gleichen Sachinteresses ist es möglich, ihre Ergebnisse mit großem Gewinn in die phänomenologische Theorie der Erkenntnis einzugliedern. Ferner wird die transzendentale Funktion dieser erfahrungsgegründeten und bereits spezifischen Vorformen von Erkenntnis für die Ermöglichung eben dieser Erkenntnis aufgewiesen. Die Analysen der Formen vorprädikativer Erfahrung in Erfahrung und Urteil sind somit die entscheidenden Schlußstücke der genetisch-phänomenologischen Erkenntnistheorie, die sich hiermit zugleich als tragfähig und konsistent erweist.

The question of relativism is a perennial one, and as fundamental and far reaching as the question of truth itself. Yet an even more serious problem is that the relativization of truth makes truth itself contingent, thereby undermining the motivation for preferring one belief or value to another, or even to its opposite.

The Origins of Husserl's Totalizing Act At noon on Monday, October 24th, 1887, Dr. Edmund G. Hermann von Helmholtz, whose theory guided Hertz's initial research, called it the "most important physical discovery of the century," and Hertz became an immediate sensation.

This text contains a translation and interpretation of Emmanuel Levinas' philosophy, deemed to be one of the most original of modern times, opening other perspectives of understanding and application.

This book is a monograph study of Ingarden's investigations into existence. Its aim is to give a clear and formally precise account, as well as a critical evaluation, of his contributions.

In the sixth Logical Investigation, Husserl defines meaning, objectivity, and knowledge by appealing to "syntheses of fulfilment": each act of conscious ness has a meaning-intention whereby it anticipates a range of fulfilling intuitions, whose ongoing synthesis would identify intended objects in the face of their changing appearances.

Through the application of phenomenological semantics, this text offers a new approach towards understanding modal logic and its philosophical implications. It is directed primarily to phenomenologists, but also addresses analytic philosophers and philosophically interested logicians.

These sections of the book are helpful both to the uninitiated student trying to enter the world of Husserl's "inner ti- consciousness" and to the experienced Husserl scholar who desires a closer look at Husserl's theory of temporalizing consciousness.

Proposes a phenomenological analysis of the questions of perception and cognition which are of paramount importance for a better understanding of those processes which underlies the formation of knowledge and consciousness.

This work is for students and Husserl scholars interested in the genesis of Husserl's thought, and more specifically in the question of intersubjectivity. Based on both published and unpublished materials, it offers a long hand study on the origins of the problem of intersubjectivity.

In his last work, "Crisis of the European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology", Edmund Husserl formulated a radical new approach to phenomenological philosophy.

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 articles included in this volume originate from contributions to the International Conference on Philosophy and Science in Phenomenologi cal Perspecllve, held in Buffalo in March 1982.

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.

In a way, the problem of the body in Husserl' s writings is relatively straightfo r ward: it is an exercise in faithful description and elaboration of a sense or mean ing, that of the "lived body," using the tools and methods of intentional analysis.

This broad anthology addresses major topics in phenomenology and philosophy: Topics inlcude investigations in anthropology, ethics and theology, to highly specialized research and complex relations among pure phenomenology, phenomenological psychology and cognitive science.

Usually Husserl's analysis of time-constitution is thought of in terms of three phases that are roughly bound up with the central publications, the Lectures, the Bernau Manuscripts and the C-Manuscripts.

It contains contributions from a number of young phenomenologists, who have all defended their dissertation on Husserl in the nineties, and it presents a new type of interpretation which emphasizes the dimensions of facticity, passivity, alterity and ethics in Husserl's thinking.
