Grundlegend f r Husserls Ph nomenologie sind die beiden Methoden der eidetischen und der ph nomenologischen Reduktion. F r den Band wurden Forschungsmanuskripte zur Lehre vom Wesen ausgew hlt, die Husserl zwischen 1891 und 1935 verfasste. Analog zu den Phasen, in denen er seine Lehre modifizierte, ist der Band in 5 Teile gegliedert. Damit dokumentiert diese erste Ver ffentlichung zu Husserls Eidetik alle Phasen und systematischen Schwerpunkte: von den Anf ngen bis zur Abfassung der Krisis mit Texten aus bislang unver ffentlichten Manuskripten.

This is a translation of Husserl's 'Thing-lectures' (Dingvorlesung) of 1907, published posthumously in 1973. The lectures deal with the constitution of the thing as a res extensa, an extended spatial structure filled with sensuous qualities and not yet with substantial or causal properties. Key to this phenomenological account is the role of the kinaesthetic systems of the body in the constitution of both three-dimensional space and the thing in its identity, its manifold of possible movements, and its position in relation to the ego. The 'Thing-lectures' form part of the project of a 'phenomenology and critique of reason' announced in a general introduction to the same lectures and published separately as The Idea of Phenomenology. There for the first time the idea of a transcendental phenomenology based on the principle of the phenomenological reduction was laid out. The lectures presented here thus form a striking example of the application of this idea to a concrete and fundamental field of research.

Combining Maurice Merleau-Ponty's course notes on Husserl's Origin of Geometry, his "Course Summary", related texts, and critical essays by each of the co-translators, this collection provides a unique and welcome glimpse both into Merleau-Ponty's nuanced reading of Husserl's famed late writings and into his persistent effort to track the very genesis of truth through the incarnate idealization of language.In his notes, Merleau-Ponty focuses primarily on Husserl's well-known "Origin of Geometry" text from the Crisis and on another of his posthumous texts on the phenomenological role of the Earth as Earth-ground. Both of these essays lead to what Merleau-Ponty called in a working note a "transcendental history" -- an analysis of a geographical inscription of history. Likewise, Merleau-Ponty is concerned in these notes with the philosophical and ontological implications of the origin of idealization, the passage from passivity to activity, the interrelation between perception and rationality -- or the intertwining of nature and logos. Because of the central role these themes played in Merleau-Ponty's thought, this volume provides an important supplement to Merleau-Ponty's philosophy and his relation to Husserl for the English-speaking reader. With the translators' essays connecting Merleau-Ponty to Derrida and Levinas as well as to Husserl, the volume should become a valuable sourcebook, an indispensable stopping point on a scholar's journey into the thought of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, and Levinas.

In this fresh translation of five lectures delivered in 1907 at the University of Gottingen, Edmund Husserl lays out the philosophical problem of knowledge, indicates the requirements for its solution, and for the first time introduces the phenomenological method of reduction. For those interested in the genesis and development of Husserl's phenomenology, this text affords a unique glimpse into the epistemological motivation of his work, his concept of intentionality, and the formation of central phenomenological concepts that will later go by the names of 'transcendental consciousness', the 'noema', and the like. As a teaching text, The Idea of Phenomenology is ideal: it is brief, it is unencumbered by the technical terminology of Husserl's later work, it bears a clear connection to the problem of knowledge as formulated in the Cartesian tradition, and it is accompanied by a translator's introduction that clearly spells out the structure, argument, and movement of the text.

Présentation de l'éditeur
A l'école de Brentano de Würzburg à Vienne sont réunies dans cet ouvrage six études des principaux représentants de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler " L'école de Brentano ". Les Souvenirs de Franz Brentano de Cari Stumpf et Edmund Husserl décrivent sa vie et son activité philosophique de ses débuts à Würzbourg jusqu'à son couronnement à Vienne. Les quatre autres études sont des contributions importantes des étudiants de Brentano à la philosophie. L'étude d'Ehrenfels, Sur les "qualités de forme", fondatrice de la psychologie de la forme, est aussi une référence incontournable pour Meinong, dont nous traduisons ici Sur les objets d'ordre supérieur et leur rapport à la perception interne, texte où il met en place les idées à la base de sa théorie de l'objet. La cinquième étude, Fonctions et formations de Twardowski, propose une analyse originale de la relation entre les actes (fonctions) et leurs contenus (formations). Enfin, Sur le rapport entre la grammaire et la logique d'Anton Marty, emblématique de la philosophie du langage brentanienne, vient clore cet ouvrage que nous avons introduit par Le legs de Brentano, une étude présentant les grandes lignes du programme philosophique de Brentano, la généalogie de son " école " ainsi que quelques-uns des débats suscités par les textes reproduits ici.

In der Vorlesung "Grundprobleme der Phänomenologie" (1910/1911) gelingt Husserl der methodische Durchbruch zur Einbeziehung der Intersubjektivität in das thematische Feld der reinen Phänomenologie. Die Ausdehnung der phänomenologischen Erfahrung auf das Fremde erlaubt Husserl später den Ausbau seines Denkansatzes zur umfassenden "Ersten Philosophie" auf der Grundlage des "natürlichen Weltbegriffs".

Edmund Husserl is widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. The founder of phenomenology, the Logical Investigations is his most famous work. Published in two volumes in 1900, it had a decisive impact on the direction of twentieth century philosophy. It is one of the few works to have influenced philosophers as far apart as Frege and Heidegger and a crucial impact on the development of both continental and analytic philosophy. This is the first time both volumes of this classic work, translated by J.N.Findlay have been available in paperback. They include a new introduction by Dermot Moran, placing the Logical Investigations in historical context and bringing out its importance for contemporary philosophy. These paperback editions of both volumes also include a new preface by Sir Michael Dummett.
