Through Careful, Historically Informed Analysis Of Groundbreaking Phenomenological Texts By Husserl And Heidegger, Jean-luc Marion Argues For The Necessity Of A Third Phenomenological Reduction That Concerns What Is Fully Implied But Left Largely Unthought By The Phenomenologies Of Both Husserl And Heidegger: The Unconditional Givenness Of The Phenomenon. Introduction: Phenomenology As Such -- 1. The Breakthrough And The Broadening -- 2. Beings And The Phenomenon -- 3. The Ego And Dasein -- 4. Question Of Being Or Ontological Difference -- 5. Being And Region -- 6. The Nothing And The Claim -- Conclusion: The Figures Of Givenness. Jean-luc Marion ; Translated By Thomas A. Carlson. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 207-249) And Index. Through careful analysis of phenomenological texts by Husserl and Heidegger, Marion argues for the necessity of a third phenomenological reduction that concerns what is fully implied but left largely unthought by the phenomenologies of both Husserl and the unconditional "givenness" of the phenomenon. At once historically grounded and radically new, this phenomenology of givenness has revitalized phenomenological debate in Europe and the U.S.
