Issues in Husserl’s Ideas II

There is an almost inverse proportion between the influence that this text exercised on important philosophical developments in this century and the attention it has received in secondary literature. It is divided into three sections dealing with the constitution of material nature, the constitution of animal nature, and that of spiritual nature. The essays in this volume deal with various aspects of all three of these sections. The starting point of an essay is often a passage from the Husserlian text, yet each essay goes beyond the text, addressing the issues raised by Husserl's analyses.
