Top Husserl Summary

Edmund Husserl is best known as the probably unintentional godfather of existentialism but Edie's review combines an inclusive review with notably helpful critical analysis that makes this an invaluable introduction to phenomenology, both for the curious student and the professional philosopher. An interesting feature is Edie's discussion of the similarity of Husserl's language theory with the ideas of Noam Chomsky. There's a great deal in Husserl's thought that didn't find expression in Sartre, Merleau-Ponty or Heidegger.
