Exploring the latest research in Husserl Studies, this collection presents fifteen new essays on key topics in the field from an international team of writers. "Epistemology, Archaeology, Ethics: Current Investigations of Husserl's Corpus" presents fifteen original essays by an international team of expert contributors that together represent a cross-section of Husserl Studies today. The collection manifests the extent to which single themes in Husserl's corpus cannot be isolated, but must be considered in relation to their overlap with each other. Many of the accepted views of Husserl's philosophy are currently in a state of flux, with positions that once seemed incontestable now finding themselves relegated to the status of one particular school of thought among several. Among all the new trends and approaches, this volume offers a representative sample of how Husserlian research should be conducted given the current state of the corpus. The book is divided into four parts, each dedicated to an area of Husserl Studies that is currently gaining prominence: Husserlian epistemology; his views on intentionality; the archaeology of constitution; and, ethics, a relatively recent field of study in phenomenology.

This volume brings Cassirer's work into the arena of contemporary debates both within and outside of philosophy. All articles offer a fresh and contemporary look at one of the most prolific and important philosophers of the 20th century. The papers are authored by a wide array of scholars working in different areas, such as epistemology, philosophy of culture, sociology, psychopathology, philosophy of science and aesthetics.

Phenomenology was one of the Twentieth century 's major philosophical movements and continues to be a vibrant and widely studied subject today. The Routledge Companion to Phenomenology is an outstanding guide and reference source to the key philosophers, topics and themes in this exciting subject and essential reading for any student and scholar of phenomenology.

Over fifty chapters by a team of international contributors the Companion are divided into five clear parts:

• Main figures in the phenomenological movement, from Brentano to Derrida
• Main topics in phenomenology
• Phenomenological contributions to philosophy
• Phenomenological Intersections
• Historical Postscript .

Close attention is paid to the core topics in phenomenology such as intentionality, perception, subjectivity, the self, the body, being and phenomenological method. An important feature of the Companion is its examination of how phenomenology has contributed to central disciplines in philosophy such as metaphysics, philosophy of mind, moral philosophy, aesthetics and philosophy of religion as well as disciplines beyond philosophy such as race, cognitive science, psychiatry, literary criticism and psychoanalysis.

The latter half of the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth century witnessed a remarkable resurgence of interest in Kant's philosophy in Continental Europe, the effects of which are still being felt today. The Neo-Kantian Reader is the first anthology to collect the most important primary sources in Neo-Kantian philosophy, with many being published here in English for the first time. It includes extracts on a rich and diverse number of subjects, including logic, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of science, and transcendental idealism. Sebastian Luft, together with other scholars, provides clear introductions to each of the following sections (to the authors as well as to each text), placing them in historical and philosophical context: the beginnings of Neo-Kantianism: including the work of Hermann von Helmholtz, Otto Liebman, Friedrich Lange, and Hermann Lotze the Marburg School: including Hermann Cohen, Paul Natorp, and Ernst Cassirer the Southwest School: including Wilhelm Windelband, Heinrich Rickert, Emil Lask, and Hans Vaihinger responses and critiques: including Moritz Schlick, Edmund Husserl; Rudolf Carnap, and the 'Davos dispute' between Martin Heidegger and Ernst Cassirer. The Neo-Kantian Reader is essential reading for all students of Kant, nineteenth and twentieth century philosophy, history and philosophy of science, and phenomenology, as well as to those studying important philosophical movements such as logical positivism and analytic philosophy and its history.

This comprehensive treatment of Neo-Kantianism discusses the main topics and key figures of the movement and their intersection with other 20th-century philosophers. With the advent of phenomenology, existentialism, and the Frankfurt School, Neo-Kantianism was deemed too narrowly academic and science-oriented to compete with new directions in philosophy. These essays bring Neo-Kantianism back into contemporary philosophical discourse. They expand current views of the Neo-Kantians and reassess the movement and the philosophical traditions emerging from it. This groundbreaking volume provides new and important insights into the history of philosophy, the scope of transcendental thought, and Neo-Kantian influence on the sciences and intellectual culture.

Der vorliegende Band bietet eine reprAsentative Auswahl der wichtigsten Forschungsmanuskripte zur Methode der transzendental-phAnomenologischen Reduktion aus Husserls SpAtwerk. Werkgeschichtlich orientiert sich diese Edition an den Arbeitsphasen ab 1926, in denen Husserl wiederholt ein System der PhAnomenologie' bzw. ein phAnomenologisches Grundwerk zu verfassen beabsichtigte. In den chronologisch angeordneten Texten, die Husserl im Rahmen seiner Manuskriptordnung vom FrA1/4hjahr 1935 einer eigenen Sektion (der B-Gruppe' mit dem Titel 'Die Reduktion') zuwies, fA1/4hrt er aus Vorlesungen und Forschungsmanuskripten der zwanziger Jahre bekannte Themen fort. Neben der ErArterung verschiedener Wege zur phAnomenologischen Reduktion und Strategien der Einleitung in die transzendentale PhAnomenologie behandelt Husserl das Problem der PhAnomenologie als einer eigenstAndigen, zur intentionalen Psychologie parallelen, transzendentalen BewuAtseinswissenschaft. Hierzu gehAren systematisch die Probleme der Unterscheidung von natA1/4rlichem und transzendentalem Ich, des Aoebergangs von natA1/4rlicher zu phAnomenologischer Einstellung, des Status des unbeteiligten Zuschauers sowie das Problem der Verweltlichung' des Transzendentalen und dessen EinstrAmen' in die vorphilosophische Lebenswelt. In diesen hauptsAchlich der Methodik gewidmeten Forschungsmanuskripten wird das Ganze einer phAnomenologischen Systematik' im UmriA erkennbar.

Diese Aufsatzsammlung ist der erste ausfuhrliche Versuch, eine Verbindung zwischen dem Denken der klassischen deutschen Philosophie und Husserls Phanomenologie herzustellen. Vorliegender Band versammelt eine Reihe neuer kritischer Artikel sowohl von etablierten Forschern wie jungeren Philosophen aus beiden Traditionen, um diese Forschungslucke, als welche sie von beiderlei Forschungsrichtungen anerkannt ist, zu schliessen. Dieser Band wirft neues Licht auf beide Traditionen und hebt ihre Bedeutung fur die Philosophie der Gegenwart hervor, sowohl in historischer wie systematischer Hinsicht. Die in diesem Band behandelten Hauptthemen sind Erkenntnistheorie, Moralphilosophie und die Geschichte der Philosophie, wobei diese Themen auf der Basis von mehreren Subthemen (Objekt, Idealismus/Realismus, Subjektivitat/Intersubjektivitat, Ethik, Geschichte, Kultur) diskutiert werden. Hierdurch wird das grundsatzliche Koordinatensystem fur einen spekulativen Vergleich zwischen Husserl und der klassischen deutschen Philosophie prasentiert, indem die wichtigsten Deutungslinien verfolgt werden, um sowohl die Kontinuitat wie auch die Diskontinuitat beider Traditionen wertschatzen zu koennen. Eine Sektion des Bandes ist insbesondere der Rezeption der Husserl'schen Phanomenologie und der klassischen deutschen Philosophie gewidmet. Die Aufsatze dieses Bandes sind fur eine generelle philosophische Leserschaft intendiert mit besonderer Berucksichtigung von Forschern in den Gebieten der klassischen deutschen Philosophie (Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel), des Neukantianismus und der phanomenologischen Tradition (insbesondere Husserl, aber ebenso andere wichtige Vertreter derselben).

Sebastian Luft presents and defends the philosophy of culture championed by the Marburg School of Neo-Kantianism. Following a historical trajectory from Hermann Cohen to Paul Natorp and through to Ernst Cassirer, this book makes a systematic case for the viability and attractiveness of a philosophical culture in a transcendental vein, in the manner in which the Marburgers intended to broaden Kant's approach. In providing a philosophical study of culture, Luft adheres to important Kantian tenets while addressing empirical studies of culture. The Space of Culture culminates in an exploration of Cassirer's Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, and argues for the extent to which Cassirer's thought was firmly rooted in the Marburg School, despite his originality. At the same time, it shows how Cassirer opened up the philosophical study of culture to new horizons, making it attractive for contemporary philosophy.

Unter dem Titel einer PhAnomenologie der PhAnomenologie' antizipiert Husserl das Programm einer phAnomenologischen Selbstkritik. Diese Kritik stellt sich dar als eine methodologische Reflexion auf die Horizonte der transzendentalen PhAnomenologie. Es ist jedoch Husserls Assistent Fink, der diese metaphilosophischen Aoeberlegungen in der VI. Cartesianischen Meditation ausfA1/4hrt. Diese Meditation wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit als eine radikale Kritik an Husserl interpretiert. Husserl, dem diese kritische Dimension nicht verborgen geblieben ist, versucht in seinen Annotationen zu dieser Schrift wie in seinen zeitgleichen Manuskripten seine eigene Position stArker zu profilieren. V.a. in von Fink angeregten Themen (wie z.B. der Rolle der Sprache) kommt Husserl zu pointierten Aussagen, die zweifellos das Prinzipielleste enthalten, was Husserl zur Methodik und Systematik der PhAnomenologie geAuAert hat. Diese Selbstkritik vollzieht sich als Kritik des sog. unbeteiligten Zuschauers'. Unter dem Titel der Verweltlichung' artikuliert sich das Problem, wie das philosophierende Subjekt sich wieder in die natA1/4rliche Welt einbA1/4gern' kann. Husserl und Fink vertreten hier gegensAtzliche Positionen, die kontrAre Auffassungen des 'Zwecksinns' von Philosophie anzeigen.

Unter dem Titel einer Phanomenologie der Phanomenologie' antizipiert Husserl das Programm einer phanomenologischen Selbstkritik.

Diese Meditation wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit als eine radikale Kritik an Husserl interpretiert. Husserl, dem diese kritische Dimension nicht verborgen geblieben ist, versucht in seinen Annotationen zu dieser Schrift wie in seinen zeitgleichen Manuskripten seine eigene Position starker zu profilieren. V.a. in von Fink angeregten Themen (wie z.B. der Rolle der Sprache) kommt Husserl zu pointierten Aussagen, die zweifellos das Prinzipielleste enthalten, was Husserl zur Methodik und Systematik der Phanomenologie geaussert hat. Diese Selbstkritik vollzieht sich als Kritik des sog. unbeteiligten Zuschauers'. Unter dem Titel der Verweltlichung' artikuliert sich das Problem, wie das philosophierende Subjekt sich wieder in die naturliche Welt einbugern' kann. Husserl und Fink vertreten hier gegensatzliche Positionen, die kontrare Auffassungen des 'Zwecksinns' von Philosophie anzeigen."

Subjectivity and Lifeworld in Transcendental Phenomenology contributes to discussions about Edmund Husserl's phenomenology in light of the ongoing publication of his manuscripts. It accounts for the historical origins and influence of the phenomenological project by articulating Husserl's relationship to authors who came before and after him. Finally, it argues for the viability of the phenomenological project as conceived by Husserl in his later years, showing that Husserlian phenomenology is not exhausted in its early, Cartesian perspective, which is indeed its weakest and most vulnerable perspective. Rather, Sebastian Luft convincingly argues, Husserlian phenomenology is a robust and philosophically necessary approach when considered from its late, hermeneutic perspective. The key point Luft brings into focus is that Husserl's hermeneutic phenomenology is distinct from other hermeneutic philosophers, namely Ernst Cassirer, Martin Heidegger, and Hans-Georg Gadamer. Unlike them, Husserl's focus centers on the work subjects must do in order to uncover the prejudices that guide their unreflective relationship to the world. Luft also demonstrates that there is a deep consistency within Husserl's own writings - from early to late - around the guiding themes of the natural attitude, the need and function of the epochE, and the split between egos, where the transcendental self (distinct from the natural self) is seen as the fundamental ability we all have to inquire into the genesis of our tradition-laden attitudes toward the world.

This volume brings Cassirer's work into the arena of contemporary debates both within and outside of philosophy. All articles offer a fresh and contemporary look at one of the most prolific and important philosophers of the 20th century. The papers are authored by a wide array of scholars working in different areas, such as epistemology, philosophy of culture, sociology, psychopathology, philosophy of science and aesthetics.
