In the present volume Cumming analyzes Sartre's transformation of Husserl's phenomenological method into a rudimentary dialectic. Cumming thus provides an introduction to phenomenology itself, and more generally to the ways in which debts to previous philosophies can be refurbished in later philosophies. He shows how phenomenology, which for Husserl was a theory of knowledge in which \"we can always presume sincerity,\" becomes for Sartre a theory in which imagination, self-deception, and role playing are crucial.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cumming also shows that conversion is not merely a personal predisposition of Sartre's--further manifest in his later conversions to Heidegger and to a version of Marxism. Conversion is also philosophical preoccupation, illustrated by the \"conversion to the imaginary\" whereby Sartre explains how he himself, as well as Genet and Flaubert, became writers. Finally, Cumming details how Husserl's phenomenological method contributed both to the shaping of Sartre's style as a literary writer and to his theory of style.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49577374613777,"sku":"GOR006841056","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346809590033,"sku":"CIN0226123693G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226123693.jpg?v=1750738034"},{"product_id":"phenomenology-and-deconstruction-volume-one-book-robert-denoon-cumming-9780226123677","title":"Phenomenology and Deconstruction, Volume One","description":"\"Philosophy as . . . a rigorous science . . . the dream is over,\" Edward Husserl once declared. Heidegger (Husserl's successor), Derrida, and Rorty have propounded versions of \"the end of philosophy.\" Cumming argues that what would count as philosophy's coming to an end can only be determined with some attention to disruptions which have previously punctuated the history of philosophy. He arrives at categories for interpreting what is at issue in such disruptions by analyzing Heidegger's and Husserl's break with each other, Heidegger's break with Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty's break with Sartre.   In this analysis Cumming deals with how a philosophy can be vulgarized (as Heidegger's was by Nazism but in Heidegger's own view by Sartre), with problems of periodization, with how the history of philosophy can be disinguished as a philosophical discipline from intellectual history. Cumming also elaborates an analogy between a philosophical method and style.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50527604932881,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50527607161105,"sku":"CIN0226123677G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226123677.jpg?v=1751290700"},{"product_id":"philosophy-of-jean-paul-sartre-routledge-revivals-book-robert-denoon-cumming-9780415531207","title":"The Philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre (Routledge Revivals)","description":"First published in Great Britain in 1968, this is an authoritative introduction to the life of one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century.
