Once a vague, far-off, not to say awesome rumor, the creation known as Phenomenology has now settled in this country and come to add its particular... decorative effects to a languishing philosophical scene... The present work, published under the auspices of the International Phenomenological Society, is extremely painstaking, and it is critical as well as admiring, though more admiring than critical... Included in the volume, constituting indeed its major portion, is Professor Farber's English rendering of the main content of Husserl's best known work, the Logische Untersuchungen. --Leo Roberts, Isis For a generation, philosophical scholarship in Germany was influenced by Husserl in a measure hardly equaled by any of his contemporaries. In spite of this, however, and in spite of at least a handful of scholars in other lands who had more than a passing acquaintance with his work, he has been the subject of a remarkably small number of truly helpful full-length studies. Professor Farber has put us in his debt by adding to that number. --James Street Fulton, The Philosophical Review This book offers a detailed historical account of the development of Husserl's philosophy from his early logical psychologism, through simple descriptive phenomenology, to his final transcendental phenomenology, and includes the main content of the Logische Untersuchungen in essential fulfillment of a promise made to Husserl to render that work in English. The author is himself an advocate of a strict interpretation of phenomenology as a descriptive philosophy and argues against the acceptability of Husserl's later transcendental idealism. --Alonzo Church, The Journal of Symbolic Logic Professor Farber's work may well be characterized as a most useful and helpful introduction to phenomenological philosophy... Farber has rendered an important service to the phenomenological movement and its future. --Aron Gurwitsch, Philosophy and Phenomenologica
