Epistemology, Archaeology, Ethics: Current Investigations of Husserl's Corpus

Description

Epistemology, Archaeology, Ethics: Current Investigations of Husserl's Corpus presents fifteen original essays by an international team of expert contributors that together represent a cross-section of Husserl Studies today. The collection manifests the extent to which single themes in Husserl's corpus cannot be isolated, but must be considered in relation to their overlap with each other. Many of the accepted views of Husserl's philosophy are currently in a state of flux, with positions that once seemed incontestable now finding themselves relegated to the status of one particular school of thought among several. Among all the new trends and approaches, this volume offers a representative sample of how Husserlian research should be conducted given the current state of the corpus. The book is divided into four parts, each dedicated to an area of Husserl Studies that is currently gaining prominence: Husserlian epistemology; his views on intentionality; the archaeology of constitution; and ethics, a relatively recent field of study in phenomenology.

"The essays in this volume provide strong evidence for the vitality of the resurgence of interest in Husserl's phenomenology now underway, and attest to its relevance for a wide array of themes, both internal to the phenomenological project broadly conceived as well as in its intersection with other contemporary approaches to philosophy." - Burt Hopkins, Seattle University, USA
