The Philosophy Of Edmund Husserl

Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), known as the founder of the phenomenological movement, was one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. A prolific scholar, he explored an enormous landscape of philosophical subjects, including philosophy of mathematics, logic, theory of meaning, theory of consciousness and intentionality, and ontology, in addition to phenomenology.This deeply insightful book traces the development of Husserl's thought from his earliest investigations in philosophy - informed by his work as a mathematician - to his publication of Ideas in 1913.

Jitendra Mohanty, an internationally renowned Husserl scholar, presents a masterful study that illuminates Husserl's central concerns and provides a definitive assessment of the first phases of the philosopher's career. Review: This book crowns Mohanty's fifty-eight years of Husserl studies. His scholarship, clarity, and nuanced understanding of the philosophical issues have given us a great book on a great philosopher. --Dagfinn Follesdal, Stanford University--Dagfinn Follesdal
