Course Description

This seminar seeks to read a range of texts by Edmund Husserl, beginning with his "breakthrough" text The Logical Investigations and ending with his final re-statement of phenomenology The Crisis of the European Sciences. Some attention will be paid to the Nachlass as well as to the writings that Husserl published in his own lifetime. The importance of intentionality, of intuition, and of the epoche and reduction will be stressed.
