This volume presents, for the first time in English, Husserl's
seminal 1923/24 lecture course First Philosophy (Erste Philosophie)
together with a selection of material from the famous research
manuscripts of the same time period. The lecture course is divided
into two systematic, yet interrelated parts ("Critical History of
Ideas" and "Theory of the Phenomenological Reduction"). It has long
been recognized by scholars as among the most important of the many
lecture courses he taught in his career. Indeed it was deemed as
crucially important by Husserl himself, who composed it with a view
toward eventual publication. It is unsurprising, then, that First
Philosophy is the only lecture course that is consistently counted
among his major works. In addition to furnishing valuable insights
into Husserl's understanding of the history of philosophy, First
Philosophy is his most sustained treatment of the phenomenological
reduction, the central concept of his philosophical methodology.
The selection of supplemental texts expands on the topics treated
in the lectures, but also add other themes from Husserl's vast
oeuvre. The manuscript material is especially worthwhile, because
in it, Husserl offers candid self-criticisms of his publicly
enunciated words, and also makes forays into areas of his
philosophy that he was loath to publicize, lest his words be
misunderstood. As Husserl's position as a key contributor to
contemporary thought has, with the passage of time, become
increasingly clear, the demand for access to his writings in
English has steadily grown. This translation strives to meet this
demand by providing English-speaking readers access to this central
Husserlian text. It will be of interest to scholars of Husserl's
work, non-specialists, and students of phenomenology.
