The present book introduces students and other readers to several foundational topics of phenomenological inquiry, and illustrates phenomenologyâs contemporary relevance. The main topics include consciousness, intentionality, perception, meaning, and knowledge. The book also contains critical assessments of Edmund Husserlâs phenomenological method. It argues that knowledge is the most fundamental mode of consciousness, and that the central theses constitutive of Husserlâs transcendental idealism are compatible with metaphysical realism regarding the objects of thought, perception, and knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelpful tools include introductions that help the reader segue from the previous chapter to the new one, chapter conclusions, and suggested reading lists of primary and some key secondary sources. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eElucidates and engages with contemporary work in analytic epistemology and philosophy of mind\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides clear prose explanations of the necessary distinctions and arguments required for understanding the subject\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlaces knowledge at the center of phenomenological inquiry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is a tour de force – it’s the best phenomenological treatment of the selected topics I’ve ever read.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSøren Overgaard, \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Copenhagen, Denmark\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The reception of Husserl's thinking has suffered from the complexity of his ideas and the awkwardness of his jargon.
