Psychological and Transcendental Phenomenology and the Confrontation with Heidegger (1927-1931): The Encyclopaedia Britannica Article, the Amsterdam ... Edmund Husserl - Collected Works) Book

This volume presents the English translations of texts by Edmund Husserl, and some by Martin Heidegger, that date from 1927 through to 1931. Most notably, the volume contains English translations of (a) all the drafts of -- as well as Heidegger's contributions to -- Husserl's ill-fated article `Phenomenology' -- a garbled version of which was published in the Encyclopaedia Britannica in 1929; (b) Husserl's `Amsterdam Lectures', delivered in 1928; (c) the copious notes that Husserl wrote in the margins of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit and Kant und das Problem der Metaphysik; and (d) Husserl's lecture `Phanomenologie und Anthropologie', delivered in 1931. Ably edited, translated, and introduced by two leading scholars, these texts as a whole document Husserl's thinking as he approached retirement from teaching and also shed light on the philosophical chasm that was widening at the time between Husserl and Heidegger.
