Phenomenology, together with Marxism, pragmatism, and analytic
philosophy, dominated philosophy in the twentieth century-and
Edmund Husserl is usually thought to have been the first to develop
the concept. His views influenced a variety of important later
thinkers, such as Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, who eventually
turned phenomenology away from questions of knowledge. But here Tom
Rockmore argues for a return to phenomenology's origins in
epistemology, and he does so by locating its roots in the work of
Immanuel Kant. Kant and Phenomenology traces the formulation of
Kant's phenomenological approach back to the second edition of
Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. In response to various criticisms
of the first edition, Kant more forcefully put forth a
constructivist theory of knowledge. This shift in Kant's thinking
challenged the representational approach to epistemology, and it is
this turn, Rockmore contends, that makes Kant the first great
phenomenologist. He then follows this phenomenological line through
the work of Kant's idealist successors, Fichte and Hegel. Steeped
in the sources and literature it examines, Kant and Phenomenology
persuasively reshapes our conception of both of its main subjects.
