Exploring the full range of Husserl's work, these essays reveal just how systematic his philosophy is. There are treatments of his most important contributions to phenomenology, intentionality and the philosophy of mind, epistemology, the philosophy of language, ontology, and mathematics. An underlying theme of the volume is a resistance to the idea, current in much intellectual history, of a radical break between "modern" and "postmodern" philosophy, with Husserl as the last of the great Cartesians.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The essays do a good job at demonstrating the continued significance and importance of Husserl's thought, and though they might not be accessible to some who are not already familiar with Husserl, they are consistently of high quality." Choice
"This weighty and distinguished collection explores the whole range of Husserl's writings, his posthumous manuscripts as well as his published works." International Philosophical Quarterly
"Proponents of the untenability of the gap between Continental and analytic philosophy will approve of this excellent collection. The editors have collected ten articles by authors who are both excellent philosophers and eminent Husserl scholars....These essays are nearly uniform in their clarity, logical rigor, thorough scholarship, and historical awareness....The Husserl of these essays is a rigorous and original thinker whose thought casts a critical light on a wide range of contemporary issues....The editor's readable and insightful introduction makes it an excellent tool for introducing Husserl's philosophy. Helpful critical bibliographies accompany almost all of the essays." Ethics
" Without a doubt, the editors have collected an impressive array of substantive essays dealing with many elements of Husserl's thought. Moreover, while avoiding any oversimplification of both the complexity and the development of Husserl's though, the texts gathered together here do yield a certain unified and coherent picture of Husserl as a 'philosopher in his own right'(2). Indeed, Husserl appears as a 'seminal figure in the evolution from traditional philosophy to the characteristic philosophical concerns of the late twentieth century..." R. Philip Buckley.

A must for the beginner or the advance phenomenologist.,
By Monadsense (San Jose, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Husserl (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy) (Paperback)
Ever wonder how we can know anything outside our consciousness? Ever wonder what the consciousness is itself, or what structures it possesses? Ever wonder how we can have any objectivity if we live as subjective creatures? If you have then phenomenology may be something that interests you. To explore this topic, one can't help but encounter Husserl. He founded the discipline and laid broad grounds which must be thought through. Even as a graduate student in philosophy, I find the Husserlian text to be extremely difficult to read. This is not because the material itself is intrinsically hard. Husserl himself stressed the importance of intuitive understand. His ideas, once understood really do appeal to this intuitive understanding of how things are. What makes reading Husserl difficult is that all of the English translations have somehow forsaken good prose for accuracy. This and because the Husserlian corpus is very broad makes phenomenology a little threatening.Enter the Cambridge Companion to Husserl. Succinct, relevant to the field, and applicable to everyday thinking, this book is a wonderful partner for the thinker who is beginning to think phenomenologically. It summarized Husserl's thoughts clearly so that the beginner can understand. However, it is not Husserl for Dummies! The thoughts expressed are subtle enough, so that new insights can be garnered in rereads of the the essays. All main areas of his philosophy are covered: the epistemology, the derivative ontology, language theory, ideas on math and objectivity. Though not Husserl for Dummies! neither is it Husserl for the Husserlian. As a student, I had the pleasure of studying with two of the authors: David Smith and Rick Tiezen. From personal experience, both men are particularly precise and rigorous with their thinking. Besides teaching at UCIrvine, Smith also teaches elementary school children the fundamentals of philosophy. Both experiences carries in his writings, as he is able to express complex thoughts cogently to experts and laymen alike. As for Tiezen is expertise as both a logician, mathematician and phenomenologist makes his especially qualified to speak on Husserl's mathematics. Half of professor Tiezen's time is spent with freshmen in introductory classes. The other half working with ornry graduate students like myself. Both men's ability to teach high and low shows in their writings, making the Companion a pleasure to read.

Husserl on Mathematics,
By Richard Tieszen (San Jose, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Husserl (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy) (Paperback)
The Cambridge Companion to Husserl contains essays by various Husserl scholars who attempt to show the relevance of Husserl's ideas to many recent issues in philosophy. Barbosa says that I seem to ignore Husserl's ideas of categorial intuition and categorial abstraction and to characterize Husserlian mathematical epistemology in terms of detecting invariants in the flow of experience. Evidently Barbosa did not read the paper very carefully. Footnote 17 gives some examples of places to look in Husserl's writings for the view that ideal objects (including mathematical objects) are to be understood as invariants through the variations in our cognitive acts and processes. Many more citations to Husserl's works could be added to this footnote. In my paper I do not use the terms 'categorial intuition' and 'categorial abstraction'. So I am guilty of not using these terms but I am not guilty of failing to discuss the ideas of intuition and abstraction in mathematics. There are many technical Husserlian terms that I do not use in the paper. I do use the terms 'intuition' and 'abstraction'. In places where I use these terms and describe Husserl's views on mathematical intuition and the abstractions, idealizations and formalizations involved in mathematics, I also cite Husserl's texts on categorial intuition and categorial abstraction. An attentive reviewer would only need to see footnotes 16, 19 and 24. Open Husserl's Logical Investigations, for example, to sections 40-58 and read the Chapter title: Sensuous and Categorial Intuitions.

Kit Fine and The Cambridge Companion,
By
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Husserl (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy) (Paperback)
The major flaw of this volume, to my mind, is that Barry Smith included his own chapter on "Common Sense".
The two strengths of the book are the inclusion of essays by Hintikka and by Kit Fine. The sad thing to note is that Fine's essay is short and truncated while others are bloated. I would hope that in a re-edition that the Smith essay would be dropped and the Fine essay extended and revised. Two and possibly three of the authors in this Cambridge volume do not merit the space allotted to them but that can be an issue when "phenomenological" insiders are busy getting each other published. It is a problem in various of the philosphy "movements" but can be a particular embarrassment in the Husserlian and Heideggerian movements. There should be a chapter on Husserl, Cantor, Goedel and Hilbert and a separate chapter on Husserl, Twardowski and Lotze. I would like to see Claire Ortiz have a chapter on Husserl and Frege and Don Weldon have a chapter on Husserl. A companion of this size should now have a digital option with web links to the available digital texts. In hindsight, I would not have purchased this volume.
