Historical Dictionary of Husserl's Philosophy (Historical Dictionaries of Religions, Philosophies, and Movements)

"Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) is widely regarded as the founding figure of the philosophical movement of "phenomenology." Husserl's philosophical program was both embraced and rejected by many, but in either case his ideas set the stage for and exercised an enormous influence on the development of much of the philosophy that followed. In particular, his thought provides the backdrop and impetus for movements such as existentialism, hermeneutics, and deconstruction. Also, because of his career-long concerns with logic and mathematics, there are many points of contact between Husserl's phenomenology and the so-called analytical philosophy, further cementing study of Husserl's thought across the philosophical spectrum." "Historical Dictionary of Husserl's Philosophy provides the means to approach the texts of Husserl and his major commentators. This is done through a chronology, introductory essay; extensive bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on key terms and neologisms, as well as brief discussions of Husserl's major works and those of his most important predecessors, contemporaries, and successors."--Jacket.
