Reviews

This book is a fitting and in many ways surprising completion of the first volume. Hatab's work on language and language acquisition is ground breaking. Influenced by but not subservient to Heidegger, Hatab takes phenomenology in new directions. This is not a book about phenomenology; it is doing phenomenology. -- Drew A. Hyland, Charles A. Dana Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Trinity College, USA
