Shedding new light on the theme of "crisis" in Husserl's
phenomenology, this book reflects on the experience of awakening to
one's own naivete. Beginning from everyday examples, Knies examines
how this awakening makes us culpable for not having noticed what
was noticeable. He goes on to apply this examination to fundamental
issues in phenomenology, arguing that the appropriation of naive
life has a different structure from the reflection on
pre-reflective life. Husserl's work on the "crisis" is presented as
an attempt to integrate this appropriation into a systematic
transcendental philosophy. Crisis and Husserlian Phenomenology
brings Husserl into dialogue with other key thinkers in Continental
philosophy such as Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and
Derrida. It is suitable for students and scholars alike, especially
those interested in subjectivity, responsibility and the philosophy
of history.

Dreams of Awakening is a thorough and exciting exploration of lucid
dreaming theory and practice within both Western and Tibetan
Buddhist contexts. It not only explores lucid dreaming practices,
but also the innovative new techniques of Mindfulness of Dream and
Sleep, the holistic approach to lucidity training which the author
co-created. The book is based on over 12 years of personal practice
and the hundreds of lucid dreaming workshops which Charlie has
taught around the world, in venues as diverse as Buddhist temples
and dance-music festivals. Using a three-part structure of Ground,
Path and Germination the reader is given a solid grounding in: *
the history and benefits of lucid dreaming * cutting edge research
from dream and sleep scientists. * entering the path of learning to
do the practices * prophetic dreams, lucid living, out of body
experiences and quantum dreaming. Although Dreams of Awakening
presents many different angles on how to make the 30 years we spend
asleep more worthwhile, the fundamental aim of the book is to teach
people how to lucid dream their way to psychological and spiritual
growth. This book is for all those who want to wake up, both in
their dreams and waking lives.
