Overview

The essays in this volume explore the full range of Husserl's work and reveal just how systematic his philosophy is. There are treatments of his most important contributions to phenomenology, intentionality and the philosophy of mind, epistemology, the philosophy of language, ontology, and mathematics.

Underlying Theme

An underlying theme of the volume is a resistance to the idea, current in much intellectual history, of a radical break between modern and postmodern philosophy, with Husserl as the last of the great Cartesians.

Husserl's Revisions

Husserl is seen in this volume as a philosopher constantly revising his system in order to be able to integrate philosophy with ideas emanating from science and culture.

Analytic vs. Continental Philosophy

The so-called rift between analytic and continental philosophy emerges as an artificial construct.
