This book starts with a representation of Husserl's idea of
phenomenology as a foundational theory of science. The following
essays elucidate the main features of the phenomenological method
as worked out by Husserl in the course of the development of his
philosophy - starting from merely 'descriptive' and going on to
'transcendental' and 'constitutive' phenomenology - in order to get
access to the foundations of knowledge in general and of scientific
knowledge in particular. Further essays deal with the Husserlian
foundations of natural science, and the relations between
phenomenology and psychology, as well as those between
phenomenology and history. This second revised and enlarged edition
- the first appeared in 1987 and was edited by Lee Hardy - contains
two further essays: one deals with Husserl's never abandoned idea
of phenomenology as a rigorous science and his further claim to
restore phenomenological philosophy as 'First Philosophy', and the
other one on the problem of crisis of the Western culture Husserl
was concerned with during several periods of his life, demonstrates
the actuality of his phenomenology even for philosophy of science
in our times.
The central contribution of Str\u00f6ker's investigations is a
careful and strict analysis of the relationship between experienced
space, Euclidean space, and non-Euclidean spaces. Her study begins
with the question of experienced space, inclusive of mood space,
space of action and perception, of practical activities and bodily
orientations, and ends with the controversies of the proponents of
geometric and mathematical understanding of space. Within the
context of experienced space, Str\u00f6ker includes historical
discussions of place, topology, depth, perspectivity, homogeneity,
orientation, and the questions of empty and full spaces. Her
investigation concludes that any strict analysis of space must be
founded upon an unavoidable ontology. Philosophical Investigations
of Space addresses a number of methodological controversies. It
tests the limitations of a variety of scientific, phenomenological,
geometric, and logical methods in order to demonstrate limitations
of both methodology and underlying assumption. In addition to the
richness of her historical and systematic discussion,
Str\u00f6ker's work is a model of thoroughly documented
philosophical scholarship and conceptual precision.
