Description
Book SynopsisLayers in Husserl's Phenomenology situates Husserl firmly within the trajectory of later Continental thought and contributes to the recent reconsideration of Husserl as a legitimate precursor to the thought of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jacques Derrida.
Trade Review'This book as a whole is an adventurous and ambitious piece of phenomenology, clearly written with enthusiasm and passion.' -- Joona Taipale Husserl Studies vol 31:2015 'Costello's Husserl interpretation can be considered as a layer in the book which as a whole is an adventurous and ambitious piece of phenomenology, clearly written with enthusiasm and passion.' -- Joona Taipale Husserl Studies, September 2014 'Costello provides a valuable addition to Husserlian scholarship, primarily due to the clarity of his writing and excellent choice of examples.' -- Rachel Robinson Dialogue vol 52:02:2013 'It is a superbly written study of the philosophy of Edmund Husserl...Costello's book makes a significant contribution to the field, and will be important for scholars and students alike, both for the study of Husserl and for the broader question of phenomenology's importance as a fruitful approach to urgent issues in philosophy.' -- Scott Marratto Review of Metaphysics, December 2013
