Derrida and Husserl: The Basic Problem of Phenomenology

Derrida and Husserl: The Basic Problem of Phenomenology
by Leonard Lawlor

# Paperback: 280 pages
# Publisher: Indiana University Press (June 1, 2002)

Book Description
Leonard Lawlor investigates Derrida's writings on Husserl in order to determine Derrida's transformation of the basic problem of phenomenology from genesis to language. To do so, he lays out a narrative of the period during which Derrida devoted himslef to formulating and interpretation of Husserl, from approximately 1954 to 1967. On the basis of the narrative, certain well known Derridean concepts are determined (in relation primarily to Husserl's phenomenology): deconstruction, the metaphysics of presence, diffŽrance (and Derrida's initial concept of dialectic), the trace, and spectrality.

Husserl & Heidegger and the Space of Meaning: Paths Toward Trancendental Phenomenology

Husserl, Heidegger, and the Space of Meaning: Paths Toward Trancendental Phenomenology
by Steven Galt Crowell (Author)

Paperback: 323 pages
Publisher: Northwestern University Press (April 14, 2001)

In a penetrating and lucid discussion of the enigmatic relationship between the work of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, Steven Galt Crowell proposes that the distinguishing feature of twentieth-century philosophy is not so much its emphasis on language as its concern with meaning. Arguing that transcendental phenomenology is indispensable to the philosophical explanation of the space of meaning, Crowell shows how a proper understanding of both Husserl and Heidegger reveals the distinctive contributions of each to that ongoing phenomenological project.

"Crowell present an original, distinguished addition to contemporary views of both the relation between Husserl and Heidegger and . . . of Heidegger's early and very early philosophical itinerary. . . . [C]ertain to be an important contribution to the field." --Gail Soffer, New School for Social Research
