The Phenomenology of Husserl presents six seminal and now classic essays by distinguished European scholars. The contributors to this volume include Oskar Becker, Eugen Fink, Walter Biemel, Rudolf Boehm, Hans Wagner, and Ludwig Landgrebe-all either former students of Husserl or philosophers who helped prepare the first volumes of his posthumously published Collected Works. Taken together, the essays present appraisals of Husserl's phenomenological philosophy ranging from its earliest reception to the first comprehensive efforts to assess the full scope of Husserl's writings, both published and unpublished. The essays vary in content from philosophically supportive to critical. Particularly noteworthy are those that defend some of Husserl's most distinctive claims.

"This volume contains some of the most important essays on Husserl ever written, essays that have lost none of their power to illuminate Husserl's thought. With the current resurgence of interest in phenomenology, a second edition of Elveton's indispensable collection could not be more timely." Steven Crowell, Professor of Philosophy, Rice University.

R. O. ELVETON, editor and translator of the essays in this book, is Maxine H. and Winston R. Wallin Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science at Carleton College.
