Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) was one of the most influential
philosophers of the Twentieth Century. Founder of the phenomenology
movement, his thinking influenced Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty
and Derrida.
In this stimulating introduction, David Woodruff Smith introduces
the whole of Husserl’s thought, demonstrating his influence on
philosophy of mind and language, on ontology and epistemology, and
on philosophy of logic, mathematics and science.
Starting with an overview of Husserl’s life and works, and his
place in Twentieth century philosophy and in Western Philosophy as
a whole, David Woodruff Smith introduces Husserl’s concept of
phenomenology, explaining his influential theories of
intentionality, objectivity and subjectivity. In subsequent
chapters he covers Husserl’s logic, metaphysics, realism and
transcendental idealism, and epistemology. Finally, he assesses the
significance and implications of Husserl’s work for contemporary
philosophy of mind and cognitive science.
Including a timeline, glossary and extensive suggestions for
further reading, Husserl will be essential reading for anyone
interested in Husserl, phenomenology and Twentieth century
philosophy.
David Woodruff Smith is Professor of Philosophy at the University

'...fulfills its aims admirably, providing an advanced introductory survey of the whole of Husserl's vast empire, together with provocative and illuminating interventions on a number of important particular points and disputes.' -- Wayne Martin, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 'This is a first-rate volume... the text is rich with historical background and comment. But it is the clarity and depth of understanding with which David Woodruff Smith explains the material that is so overwhelmingly present. An excellent work.' -- Gayle Ormiston, Kent State University, USA 'A masterful presentation of the entire range of Husserl's thinking, seen from the perspective of a leading analytical phenomenologist.' -- Barry Smith, University of Buffalo, USA 'I find the way Smith has organized this book, thematically as opposed to by conceptual phase or by individual work, to be highly efficient. This approach allows one clearly to see Husserl's system as a whole and at work, and it allows for the interconnected nature of his ideas to be easily understood. Smith's style of writing is accessible without being too casual, and the illustrations provided are most helpful for fleshing out the concepts discussed ... a useful work for the experienced Husserl scholar to have on hand as it does efficiently draw together important themes and threads ... Smith's book can also work as a good starting point for novice readers.' -- Kimberly Jaray, Wilfred Laurier University
