1 The present volume is rich in essential phenomenological
descriptions 2 and insightful historico-critical analyses, some of
which cannot be fully appreciated, however, except by close
examination on the part of the reader. Accordingly, such a task
ought to be left to the consideration and judgment of the latter,
save where such discussions are directly relevant to the topics I
will be dwelling upon. I prefer, then, to approach the matters and
questions contained here otherwise, namely, archeologically. In
this I 3 follow Jose Huertas-Jourda, the editor of the
corresponding French vol- 4 ume, in his felicitous terminological
choice, although I adopt it here for my purposes in an etymological
sense, i. e. , as signifying a return to prin- 5 ciples or origins.
This, after all, is consistent not only with the spirit and
practice of phenomenology, as acknowledged by Aron Gurwitsch often
enough, but as well with what he has actually said, to wit: it is a
qu- tion of 1 Cf. , e. g. , infra,in An Outline of Constitutive
Phenomenology, Chapter 4, pp. 185 ff. (Henceforth I shall refer to
this book as Outline. ) This essay will be devoted to the study of
selected parts of the contents of this volume, although, when
necessary, use will be made here of other works by various authors,
including Gurwitsch. 2 Cf. , e. g. , ibid. , Chapter 3, pp. 107 ff.

Ortega's response is an original contribution to the psychology of
perception. But, as was his habit, Ortega ranges far beyond his
ostensible subject; the book may properly be characterized as an
heroic attempt to clarify the nature and grounds of truth. It
develops ideas contained in his first book, Meditations on Quixote,
and introduces new concepts--such as core or nodal problems in any
field of inquiry--which would have lasting consequences in his
work. This volume includes an appendix, "Toward a Philosophical
Dictionary," which defines terms important to lectures.
