An Introduction to Husserl's Phenomenology by Jan Patocka

An Introduction to Husserl's Phenomenology by Jan Patocka

Patocka's celebrated Introduction is here made available in English for the first time. In addition to introducing Husserl's ideas, this book is also an important work of original philosophy. Patocka ranges over the whole of Husserl's output, from The Philosophy of Arithmetic to The Crisis of the European Sciences, and traces the evolution of all the central issues of Husserlian phenomenology--intentionality, categorial intuition, temporality, the subject-body; the concrete a priori, and transcendental subjectivity. But rather than attempting to give a tour of Husserl's workshop, Patocka is himself hard at work on Husserl's problems.

Jan Patocka is now considered to have been one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. He was a student of both Husserl and Heidegger. He lived most of his adult life in Communist Czechoslovakia, where he was at times banned from publishing his work and from holding academic positions. Having written his Heretical Essays, Patocka defied the Communist regime as one of the spokespersons associated with Charta 77. He died in 1977, following two months of police interrogation. James Dodd is Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research. He is the author of Violence and Phenomenology (Routledge, 2009). Erazim Kohak is a Czech philosopher who has been Professor of Philosophy at Boston University and then at Charles University in Prague. He is also a senior research fellow at the Centre of Global Studies at the Institute of Philosophy at the Czech Academy of Science in Prague. He is the author of many books, including Idea and Experience: Husserl's Project of Phenomenology, The Embers and the Stars: Philosophical Inquiry into the Moral Sense of Nature.
