Introduction to Phenomenology

Description

Introduction to Phenomenology is a comprehensive guide to phenomenology and the major philosophers who shaped the movement: Brentano, Tardowski, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Derrida, Adorno and Arendt. This is an indispensable introduction for all those unfamiliar with this much talked about, but little understood school of thought.

Dermot Moran teaches Philosophy at the University College Dublin.

"Moran's writing is consistently clear, and his work provides information useful to readers of various philosophical backgrounds interested in familiarizing themselves with phenomenology... "Introduction to Phenomenology remains an extensive and worthy reference work."-"Review of Metaphysics "This is an excellent book which can be warmly recommended not just to someone with a particular interest in phenomenology and its history but to anyone with a genuine interest in philosophy. It is impressively erudite but never dull."-" Philosophical Quarterly ..."a lively narrative that avoids the tedium of excessive argumentation and theoretical exposition."-"Choice, September 2000 "For years philosophers have been looking for a clear, engaging, accurate introduction to phenomenology to recommend to students and read themselves. This is the book."-Charles Guignon, University of Vermont ..."the most accessible, the most scholarly, and philosophically the most interesting account of the phenomenological movement yet written."-David Bell, University of Sheffield
