Description: "In this study of Husserl's Phenomenological method, Donn Welton presents a unique interpretation of the development of Husserl's philosophical method from both a systematic and a historical perspective. Arguing against the traditional interpretation, The Other Husserl traces the expansion of phenomenology beyond its first static formulation into a genetic analysis and uses accounts of perception, discourse, subjectivity, and world to elaborate the scope of Husserl's systematic phenomenology.

It then takes up Husserl's interpretation of world as horizon, the most fruitful of his insights, to develop a theory of background. This serious reflection on the meaning of phenomenology is the first book in English to outline the full scope of Husserl's phenomenological method and to argue for its cogency."--BOOK JACKET.
