What is Husserl And The Sciences: Selected Perspectives Project Muse Upcc Books about?

Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) is one of the previous century's most important thinkers. Often regarded as the 'father of phenomenology,' this collection of essays reveals that he is indeed much more than that. The breadth of Husserl's thought is considerable and much remains unexplored. These essays concentrate on Husserl's thought in relation to the sciences, revealing the depths of how science played a major role in his philosophy. There are treatments of how we should understand Husserl's in relation to the history of science, to the current naturalism in epistemology, as well as the clash with Frege over the foundations of mathematical concepts. How Husserl interacted with some of the finest scientific and mathematical minds of the last century, such as David Hilbert and Hermann Weyl, is also treated in detail and from various perspectives. Finally, Husserl's view of community and lifeworld within the context of science is also examined. An underlying theme of this volume is that Husserl is constantly returning to origins, revising his thought in the light of new knowledge offered by the sciences. Those new to Husserl will find these essays accessible and useful ports of entry int
