At first blush, phenomenology seems to be concerned preeminently
with questions of knowledge, truth, and perception, and yet closer
inspection reveals that the analyses of these phenomena remain
bound up with language and that consequently phenomenology is,
inextricably, a philosophy of language. Drawing on the insights of
a variety of phenomenological authors, including Husserl,
Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Gadamer, and Ricoeur, this collection of
essays by leading scholars articulates the distinctively
phenomenological contribution to language by examining two sets of
questions. The first set of questions concerns the relatedness of
language to experience. Studies exhibit the first-person character
of the philosophy of language by focusing on lived experience, the
issue of reference, and disclosive speech. The second set of
questions concerns the relatedness of language to intersubjective
experience. Studies exhibit the second-person character of the
philosophy of language by focusing on language acquisition,
culture, and conversation. This book will be of interest to
scholars of phenomenology and philosophy of language.
Heidegger's Shadow is an important contribution to the
understanding of Heidegger's ambivalent relation to transcendental
philosophy. Its contention is that Heidegger recognizes the
importance of transcendental philosophy as the necessary point of
entry to his thought, but he nonetheless comes to regard it as
something that he must strive to overcome even though he knows such
an attempt can never succeed. Engelland thoroughly engages with
major texts such as Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics, Being and
Time, and Contributions and traces the progression of Heidegger's
readings of Kant and Husserl to show that Heidegger cannot abandon
his own earlier breakthrough work in transcendental philosophy.
This book will be of interest to those working on phenomenology,
continental philosophy, and transcendental philosophy.

A concise and accessible introduction to phenomenology, which
investigates the experience of experience.This volume in the MIT
Press Essential Knowledge series offers a concise and accessible
introduction to phenomenology, a philosophical movement that
investigates the experience of experience. Founded by Edmund
Husserl (1859-1938) and expounded by Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger,
Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and others, phenomenology ventures forth
into the field of experience so that truth might be met in the
flesh. It investigates everything as experienced. It does not study
mere appearance but the true appearances of things, holding that
the unfolding of experience allows us to sort true appearances from
mere appearance. The book unpacks a series of terms--world, flesh,
speech, life, truth, love, and wonder--all of which are bound up
with each other in experience. For example, world is where
experience takes place; flesh names the way our experiential
exploration is inscribed into the bearings of our bodily being;
speech is instituted in bodily presence; truth concerns the way our
claims about things are confirmed by our experience. A chapter on
the phenomenological method describes it as a means of clarifying
the modality of experience that is written into its very fabric;
and a chapter on the phenomenological movement bridges its
divisions while responding to criticisms from analytic philosophy
and postmodernism.

This collection examines the relationship between Augustine and
Wittgenstein and demonstrates the deep affinity they share, not
only for the substantive issues they treat but also for the style
of philosophizing they employ. Wittgenstein saw certain salient
Augustinian approaches to concepts like language-learning, will,
memory, and time as prompts for his own philosophical explorations,
and he found great inspiration in Augustine's highly personalized
and interlocutory style of writing philosophy. Each in his own way,
in an effort to understand human experience more fully, adopts a
mode of philosophizing that involves questioning, recognizing
confusions, and confronting doubts. Beyond its bearing on such
topics as language, meaning, knowledge, and will, their analysis
extends to the nature of religious belief and its fundamental place
in human experience. The essays collected here consider a broad
range of themes, from issues regarding teaching, linguistic
meaning, and self-understanding to miracles, ritual, and religion.
