This book shows us how rather than abandoning psychology once he
liberated phenomenology from the psychologism of the philosophy of
arithmetic, Edmund Husserl remained concerned with the ways in
which phenomenology held important implications for a radical
reform of psychology throughout his intellectual career. The author
fleshes out what such a radical reform actually entails, and
proposes that it can only be accomplished by following the trail of
the transcendental reduction described in Husserl's later works. In
order to appreciate the need for the transcendental even for
psychology, the book tracks Husserl's thinking on the nature of
this relationship between phenomenology as a philosophy and
psychology as a positive science as it evolved over time. The text
covers Husserl's definition of phenomenology as "descriptive
psychology" in the Logical Investigations, rejecting the hybrid
form of "phenomenological psychology" described in the lectures by
that name, and ends with his proposal for a "fundamental
refashioning" of psychology by situating it within the
transcendental framework of The Crisis of European Sciences and
Transcendental Phenomenology. The Author argues for a re-grounding
of psychology by virtue of a "return to positivity" after having
performed the reduction to transcendental intersubjectivity. What
results is a phenomenological approach to a
transcendentally-grounded psychology which, while having returned
to the life-world, no longer remains transcendentally naive. A
phenomenologically-grounded psychology thus empowers researchers,
clinicians, and clients alike to engage in social actions that move
the world closer to achieving social justice for all. This text
appeals to students and researchers working in phenomenology and
psychology.
