Summary

The volume offers the first systematic discussion of Husserl’s Cartesian Meditations. Beginning with a commentary on the text of the five Meditations, the essays published here examine and clarify some of the most important concepts of Husserl’s philosophy: intentionality, synthesis, evidence, inter-subjectivity. In addition, the volume provides the first discussion of Husserl’s late version of transcendental philosophy and its relevance for contemporary debates in both continental and analytic philosophy.
