Phenomenology and the Problem of History: A Study of Husserl's Transcendental Philosophy

by David Carr

In Phenomenology and the Problem of History, David Carr examines the paradox involving Husserl's transcendental philosophy and his later historical theory. Rejecting the arguments of earlier critics that compromise aspects of Husserl's writing, Carr proposes a model of the transcendental philosopher who balances necessary historical reduction with a strict mind to historical context.
