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 It details Husserl¿s account of embodiment and takes largely from his manuscripts, both published and unpublished, dealing with his theory of instincts, his considerations of mortality and the teleological character of our existence.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.

By virtue of the originality and depth of its thought, Emmanuel Levinas's masterpiece, Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority, is destined to endure as one of the great works of philosophy.
