Husserl's Legacy: Phenomenology, Metaphysics, and Transcendental Philosophy


Add your own review!

Overview

Dan Zahavi offers an in-depth and up-to-date analysis of central and contested aspects of the philosophy of Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology. What is ultimately at stake in Husserl's phenomenological analyses? Are they primarily to be understood as investigations of consciousness or are they equally about the world? What is distinctive about phenomenological transcendental philosophy, and what kind of metaphysical import, if any, might it have? Husserl's Legacy offers an interpretation of the more overarching aims and ambitions of Husserlian phenomenology and engages with some of the most contested and debated questions in phenomenology. Central to its interpretative efforts is the attempt to understand Husserl's transcendental idealism. Zahavi argues that Husserl was not a sophisticated introspectionist, not a phenomenalist, nor an internalist, not a quietist when it comes to metaphysical issues, and not opposed to all forms of naturalism. Husserl's Legacy argues that Husserl's phenomenology is as much about the world as it is about consciousness, and that a proper grasp of Husserl's transcendental idealism reveals the fundamental importance of facticity and intersubjectivity.

Reviews

...all of the advantages of Zahavi's excellent readings of Husserl and the positions he takes in Husserl's Legacy regarding the continued importance and relevance of phenomenology are preserved in this account. And for those readings and positions-with their exceptional clarity and importance-we are indebted and grateful. * John J. Drummond, Fordham University, Husserl Studies * Over the past twenty-five years, Dan Zahavi has established himself as a foremost interpreter of Edmund Husserl's phenomenology and a leading contributor to the development of contemporary phenomenology. He is renowned for showing that phenomenology is a viable and valuable alternative for addressing contemporary controversies in the philosophy of mind, the cognitive sciences, and social ontology and epistemology. Both facets of his work are on display in Husserl's Legacy. * John Drummond, Husserl Studies * Clear, well-informed, and persuasive. * Tom Nenon, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * Zahavi's latest book, Husserl's Legacy, is a major achievement * Joona Taipale, ProtoSociology * Dan Zahavi has written an observant and sympathetic account of Husserl's philosophy viewed in a contemporary context. * D.W. Smith, European Journal of Philosophy *

The book has a cyclical character, and questions which are raised early on are returned to as the work unfolds; the central debates are interwoven throughout the work. The work is decisive, yet also full of Zahavi's characteristic diplomacy, and his careful and considerate attention to detailed distinctions. * Heath Williams, Phenomenological Reviews * Zahavi's latest book, Husserl's Legacy, is a major achievement. ... The style of the exposition is eloquent: the book is written in a relaxed way, yet without dispensing with focus or clarity. In philosophy, an eloquent style of writing is a virtue only when combined with clarity, and Zahavi does a brilliant job in this respect. ... I warmly recommend the book to anyone interested in phenomenology, but also to all scholars - juniors and seniors, whose research touches upon questions of internalism/externalism, speculative realism, naturalism, or the relation between philosophy and empirical science. All in all, Zahavi offers a very enjoyable and inspiring reading experience, without putting aside philosophical rigor and clarity. * Joona Taipale, ProtoSociology *
