Abstract: "This book is for researchers and graduate students interested in phenomenology in general, and Husserlian and Heideggerian phenomenology in particular. It is a study of the phenomenological philosophies of Husserl and Heidegger." "Through a critical discussion including practically all previously published English and German literature on the subject, the aim is to present a thorough and evenhanded account of the relation between the two philosophers. The book provides a detailed presentation of their respective projects and methods, and examines several of their key phenomenological analyses, centering on the phenomenon of being-in-the-world. It offers new perspectives on Husserlian and Heideggerian phenomenology, e.g., concerning the importance of Husserl's phenomenology of the body, the relationship between the Husserlian concept of "constitution" and Heidegger's notion of "transcendence", as well as in its argument that "being" designates the central phenomenon for both phenomenologists." "This study is written for non-specialists and specialists alike."--BOOK JACKET.
