Despite, or perhaps better by virtue of, its very brevity,
Appearance and Sense is a difficult text to read and understand,
particularly if we make the attempt independently of Husserl's
Ideas I. This is certainly at least in part owing to the intent
behind Shpet's work. On the one hand it strives to present Husserl'
s latest views to a Russian philosophical audience not yet
conversant with and, in all likelihood, not even aware of, his
transcendental idealist turn. With this aim any reading would
perforce be exacting. Yet, on the other hand, Shpet has made scant
concession to his public. Indeed, his text is even more compressed,
especially in the crucial areas dealing with the sense-bestowing
feature of consciousness, than Husserl' s own. For all that, Shpet
has not bequeathed to us simply an abbreviated paraphrase nor a
selective commentary on Ideas I, although at many points it is just
that. Rather, the text on the whole is a critical engagement with
Husserl' s thought, where Shpet among other things refonnulates or
at least presents Husserl's phenomenology from the perspective of
hoping to illuminate a traditional philosophical problem in a
radical manner. Since Husserl's text was published only in 1913 and
Shpet's appeared sometime during 1914, the latter must have been
conceived, thought through, and written in remarkable haste.
Indeed, Shpet had already finished a first draft and was busy with
a revision of it by the end of 1913.
