This volume is the first book-length analysis of the problematic
concept of the 'horizon' in Edmund Husserl's phenomenology, as well
as in phenomenology generally. A recent arrival on the conceptual
scene, the horizon still eludes robust definition. The author shows
in this authoritative exploration of the topic that Husserl, the
originator of phenomenology, placed the notion of the horizon at
the centre of philosophical enquiry. He also demonstrates the
rightful centrality of the concept of the horizon, all too often
viewed as an imprecise metaphor of tangential significance. His
systematic analysis deploys both early and late work by Husserl, as
well as hitherto unpublished manuscripts. Opening out the question
to include that of the origins of the horizon, the book explores
the horizon as philosophical theme or notion, as a figure of
intentionality, and as a signification of one's consciousness of
the world-our 'world-horizon'. It argues that the central
philosophical significance of the problematic of the horizon makes
itself apparent in realizing how this problematic enriches our
philosophical understanding of subjectivity. Systematic, thorough,
and revealing, this study of the significance of a core concept in
phenomenology will be relevant not only to the phenomenological
community, but also to anyone interested in the intersections of
phenomenology and other philosophical traditions, such as
hermeneutics and pragmatism. "
