Husserl and the Idea of Europe argues that Edmund Husserl's late
reflections on Europe should not be read either as departures from
his early transcendental phenomenology or as simple exercises of
cultural criticism but rather as systematic phenomenological
reflections on generativity and historicity. Timo Miettinen shows
that Husserl's reflections on Europe contain his most compelling
and radical interpretation on the intersubjective, communal, and
historical dimensions of phenomenology. Husserl and his generation
worked in the aftermath of World War I, as Europe struggled to
redefine itself, and he penned his late writings as the clouds of
World War II gathered. Decades later, the fall of the Soviet Union
again altered the continent's identity and its political and
economic divisions. Miettinen writes as a European involved in the
question of Europe, and many of the recent authors and critics he
addresses in this work-such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida,
and Giorgio Agamben-likewise deeply engaged with this new problem
of European identity. Husserl and the Idea of Europe interprets key
concepts of Husserl's late philosophy in new, compelling ways. The
book illuminates the multifaceted problem of the idea of European
rationality, and it defends novel conceptions of universalism and
teleology as necessary components of radical philosophical
reflection.
