Husserl’s Logical Investigations in the New Century: Western and Chinese Perspectives (Contributions to Phenomenology Book 55)

In this volume, phenomenologists from the West join hands with specialists from mainland China and Hong Kong to discuss the heritage of Husserl’s Logical Investigations. Readers will learn of the early reception of Husserl’s Logical Investigations in China. They will also understand in what way Husserl’s doctrine of intentionality of consciousness in the Logical Investigations has paved the way to Scheler’s phenomenology of feeling, to a novel phenomenological explication of religious experience, as well as to the little known young Foucault’s tentative formulation of a paradoxical phenomenology of the dream. In addition, the book details how a young Chinese scholar undertakes a thorough reassessment of the problem of being in Husserl in the light of Heideggerian ontology. With its joint perspective, this volume demonstrates the surprisingly rich and inexhaustible life that Husserl’s Logical Investigations continues to enjoy in the new century.
