The present volume containing the dissertation of Dorion Cairns
is the first part of a comprehensive edition of the philosophical
papers of one of the foremost disseminators and interpreters of
Husserlian phenomenology in North-America.
Based on his intimate knowledge of Husserl's published writings
and unpublished manuscripts and on the many conversations and
discussions he had with Husserl and Fink during his stay in
Freiburg i. Br. in 1931-1932 Cairns's dissertation is a
comprehensive exposition of the methodological foundations and the
concrete phenomenological analyses of Husserl's transcendental
phenomenology.The lucidity and precision of Cairns's presentation
is remarkable and demonstrates the secure grasp he had of Husserl's
philosophical intentions and phenomenological distinctions.
Starting from the phenomenological reduction and Husserl's Idea of
Philosophy, Cairns proceeds with a detailed analysis of
intentionality and the intentional structures of consciousness. In
its scope and in the depth and nuance of its understanding,
Cairns's dissertation belongs beside the writings on Husserl by
Levinas and Fink from the same period."
