In this widely hailed and long out of print classic of twentieth
century philosophic commentary, Professor Farber explains the
origin, development, and function of phenomenology with a view
towards its significance for philosophy in general. The book offers
a general account of Husserl and the background of his philosophy.
The early chapters are devoted to his mathematical-philosophical
and psychological studies. The refutation of psychologism is
present in detail, together with the critical reaction to it. The
development of his logical theories in the light of contemporary
literature at the close of the 19th century is next considered. The
main content of the six Logical Investigations follows, which
contribute to the phenomenological elucidation of experience and
knowledge. The phenomenological philosophy of logic as developed in
Husserl's later writings is then introduced, followed by a
discussion of the phenomenological method and its proper function.
Farber makes clear his preference for phenomenology as a purely
descriptive method and his opposition to have it serve as a last
stronghold of metaphysics. Indispensable as groundwork for
descriptive philosophical study, this book will deeply interest not
only serious students of philosophy and psychology, but also those
who are concerned with the philosophical aspects of mathematics,
social and natural sciences, law and psychiatry.

This is the final work of one of the most influential American
philosophers of the twentieth century. After many years of
investigation throughout a long and distinguished career, this book
represents Marvin Farber's definitive answer to the question of the
nature and function of philosophy. Originally a follower of
Husserl, Farber can be credited with bringing phenomenology to the
attention of American philosophy. In his later years, he abandoned
phenomenology for a kind of naturalism and subsequently called
himself a Marxist.This volume, which he had been working on since
his retirement from active teaching, is the culmination of Farber's
analytical abilities. His earlier career was highlighted with many
milestones as well. Along with publishing Phenomenology as a Method
and as a Philosophical Discipline in 1928 (his first book which
served to introduce phenomenology to the United States), Farber
organized the International Phenomenological Society. He became its
first president in 1931 and began publishing the journal Philosophy
and Phenomenological Research the next year. In 1940 he published
Philosophical Essays in Memory of Edmund Husserl, a collection of
essays by a number of Husserl's more distinguished followers, many
of whom had emigrated to the United States. Farber's other books
include: Foundation of Phenomenology; Naturalism and Subjectivism;
he coauthored Philosophy for the Future: The Quest of Modern
Materialism.The Search for an Alternative considers the nature of
philosophy, discussing Husserl, Marx, Lenin, and Farber's own ideas
on phenomenology. Primarily concerned with the philosophy of
philosophy, and the analysis of contemporary versions of
phenomenology and Marxism, the author contributes penetrating and
profound insights on other fundamental philosophical topics such as
the nature of value, of essences, of structure, and of possibility
and potentiality.
