Excellent introduction to "The Other Husserl",
By John Hartmann (Champaign, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Husserl: Basic Writings in Transcendental Phenomenology (Studies in Continental Thought) (Paperback)
Welton's anthology contains essential texts from Husserl's published works, as well as "unknown" selections from the Husserliana series -- selections which have prompted much debate in the scholarship insofar as they require a drastic reconsideration of the traditional interpretation of Husserlian phenomenology. The sections which deal with static and genetic phenomenology are worth the price of purchase alone. Welton's introduction does a fine job of setting up the terrain, as well as discussing the aforementioned debates in the literature. (Although I don't find any real basis in another reviewer's claims about the "homo-eroticism" implicit in Husserl's texts.) Especially given the price of the Kluwer editions of Husserl's works, one simply can't go wrong with this book. For those interested in phenomenology, or 20th Century philosophy in general, Welton's book is indeed essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Careful selection of texts,
This review is from: The Essential Husserl: Basic Writings in Transcendental Phenomenology (Studies in Continental Thought) (Paperback)
Husserl published two long books, The Logical Invesigatnons and Ideas Pertaining to the Pure Phenomenology. He wrote very much more than he published, leaving shelves of unfinished manuscripts. He also gave some fairly complete public lectures. Relative to the volume of his total output, only fragments of his work are tranlated into English and these aren't always representative of Husserl's best ideas or affordable for the student. Examples: as far as I know, Thing and Space has no English translation and Husserl would agree that the price of Cartesian Mediations is absurd. It's nice to have this reasonably priced and representative selection of Husserl texts. They start near the beginning of Husserl's published work (around 1900 if I remember rightly) and take us through about 40 years of his phenomenological labors.

A good book, but not an introduction,
By
This review is from: The Essential Husserl: Basic Writings in Transcendental Phenomenology (Studies in Continental Thought) (Paperback)
This work is better appreciated after one has gained some introduction to HUsserl. I suggest starting off with the Cartesian Meditations, and trying to find a good commentary on them. UNDERSTANDING PHENOMENOLOGY is a fantastic book, albeit unavailable.
