Interpreting Husserl

Meer over het boek

The book explores the complex and fluctuating influence of Edmund Husserl on modern philosophy. Initially significant in Germany, his ideas were later revived in France post-World War II and gained traction in North America during the 1960s, particularly among dissenters from mainstream Anglo-American thought. Key concepts like intentionality and noema have been utilized in contemporary discussions on mind and meaning. The author argues that Husserl's impact persists in Europe, manifesting through underlying attitudes and philosophical challenges, even if he is less frequently mentioned.
