Edmund Husserl Livres

Les cinq leçons dont se compose L'idée de la phénoménologie furent prononcées à l'Université de Göttingen, en avril-mai 1907. Husserl traversait alors une crise tant personnelle (le retard persistant à l'accès au statut de professeur ordinaire en philosophie) que théorique (aucune publication depuis les Recherches logiques de 1900-1901, mal comprises d'ailleurs par ses contemporains. D'où une nouvelle décision: " En premier lieu, je nomme le problème général que je me dois de résoudre pour moi, si je veux pouvoir me donner le titre de philosophe. Je veux dire une critique de la raison (...). J'ai plus qu'assez goûté aux tourments de l'obscurité, du doute qui va et vient. Je dois parvenir à une intime assurance. Je sais bien qu'il s'agit là d'une grande, d'une très grande chose, je sais bien que de grands génies y ont échoué et, si je voulais me comparer à eux, je devrais me désespérer par avance. " (Journal, en date du 25 septembre 1906, Hua., I, p. VII-VIII). De cette crise, Husserl sortira en atteignant la certitude du Je transcendantal dégagé par la réduction phénoménologique. Mieux, de cette crise sortira la réduction phénoménologique elle-même. Du coup la phénoménologie deviendra, selon les mots mêmes de Husserl, d'une " psychologie descriptive ", une " phénoménologie transcendantale ".

La Krisis, dont le manuscrit principal date de 1935-1936, est en vérité le testament de Husserl. Cela seul suffit à en assurer l'importance, du point de vue des études husserliennes. Mais la fascination que ce texte exerce a une origine et des raisons plus profondes. C'est qu'en lui ne se termine pas seulement, l'histoire de l'entreprise phénoménologique, commence un tiers de siècle plus tôt, ni seulement (du même coup) l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale moderne - cette odyssée du Savoir dans le retour au Soi ; en lui s'achève également le destin qui gouverne cette histoire. La méditation husserlienne est ici construite entièrement sur un renversement : dans un premier mouvement, en effet, on recule en deçà de la ration pura des modernes par une longue et magnifique dé-construction de l'histoire de la philosophie moderne, jusqu'à faire apparaître dans la Lebenswelt le refoulé et l'oublié de toute cette histoire. Mais dans un deuxième mouvement, la Lebenswelt se scinde en Welt et Leben - dissociation dans laquelle le premier devient un constitué, le second sa constitution dans l'égologie absolue. Le pivot du renversement étant l'équivoque de la phénoménologie de la perception.

The book presents a first English translation of Husserl's influential lectures on "passive synthesis," delivered from 1920 to 1926, during a pivotal period of his work. It explores the application of genetic phenomenology to perceptual experience and its relationship to judgment and cognition. Additionally, the lectures reflect on the crisis in contemporary thought, delve into the layers of meaning within experience, and outline the evolution of judgment through "active synthesis."

This first English translation of Husserliana XXIII presents a collection of posthumous texts by Edmund Husserl, focusing on representational consciousness. It includes lectures and sketches that provide an in-depth exploration of image consciousness, phantasy, perception, and memory.

Such a phenomenology would advance the "critique of knowledge," in which the problem of knowledge is clearly formulated and the possibility of knowledge rigorously secured. that is, he attempts to secure the possibility of the knowledge of the possibility of knowledge, not the possibil ity of knowledge in general (see below, pp.

Presents a translation of Husserl's "Thing-lectures" (Dingvorlesung) of 1907. The lectures deal with the constitution of the thing as a res extensa, an extended spatial structure filled with sensuous qualities and not yet with substantial or causal properties. They present an example of the application of this idea to a concrete field of research.

The primary intent of this volume is to give the English reader access to all the philosophical texts published by Husserl between the appearance of his first book, Philosophie der Arithmetik, and that of his second book, Logische Untersuchungen- roughly, from 1890 through 1901.

Edmund Husserl's work is a foundational text in phenomenology, a pivotal movement in twentieth-century philosophy. In "Ideas," originally published in 1913, Husserl expands his earlier, narrower conception of phenomenology to explore the essence of consciousness and thought itself. This shift sparked significant debate about consciousness and experience, influencing major philosophers like Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre. The reprint preserves the original's integrity, offering readers insight into the evolution of philosophical thought and its lasting impact.

The Essential Husserl, the first anthology in English of Edmund Husserl's major writings, provides access to the scope of his philosophical studies, including selections from his key works: Logical Investigations, Ideas I and II, Formal and Transcendental Logic, Experience and Judgment, Cartesian Meditations, The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology, and On the Phenomenology of the Consciousness of Internal Time. The collection is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in twentieth-century philosophy.

Widely regarded as the principal founder of phenomenology, one of the most important movements in twentieth century philosophy, Edmund Husserl's Ideas is one of his most important works and a classic of twentieth century thought. Husserl's early thought conceived of phenomenology - the general study of what appears to conscious experience - in a relatively narrow way, mainly in relation to problems in logic and the theory of knowledge. The publication of Ideas in 1913 witnessed a significant and controversial widening of Husserl's thought, changing the course of phenomenology decisively. Husserl argued that phenomenology was the study of the very nature of what it is to think, "the science of the essence of consciousness" itself. Husserl's arguments ignited a heated debate regarding the nature of consciousness and experience that has endured throughout the twentieth and continues in the present day. No understanding of twentieth century philosophy is complete without some understanding of Husserl, and his work influenced some of the great philosophers of the twentieth century, such as Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre.
