Husserl's Criticism of Reason, With Ethnomethodological Specifications utilizes key phenomenological concepts for empirical studies of ordinary interaction. Liberman explores how ethnomethodological investigations into philosophical thought can enhance Husserl's critique of reasoning by providing the specifics he lacked. He examines phenomenological ideas such as the limits of apophantic reasoning, logocentrism, the value of aporias and negative dialectics, and the Lebenswelt origins of meaning. For phenomenologists, Liberman offers clear summaries of essential notions that ethnomethodologists employ to uncover the implicit complexities in the thinking of philosophical practitioners engaged in formal reflection. Engaging with major figures in phenomenology and post-phenomenology, including Husserl, Heidegger, Levinas, Merleau-Ponty, and Derrida, he also presents ethnomethodological challenges to contemporary phenomenological thought. These theoretical developments are complemented by practical illustrations and detailed analyses. The work is framed within a philosophical anthropological perspective on how humans have learned to utilize formal analytic reasoning to enhance their thinking without constraining it.
