Reviews

In this exceptionally stimulating book Dr. Alweiss effectively shows how the traditionally central problem of the relation between the perceiving subject and the so-called external world can be illuminated through a closely argued reading of such paradigmatically 'continental' philosophers as Husserl and Heidegger. It should appeal to an unusually wide range of philosophers of otherwise quite different backgrounds and interests. In particular, contemporary analytic philosophers concerned with the problems of knowledge and perception may learn much from seeing their problems argued out in the context and language of a prima facie very different tradition from their own. -- Alan Montefiore, Emeritus Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford The World Unclaimed is a truly philosophical text and a solid work of scholarly erudition. It provides an excellent presentation of the issues at stake in the disagreement between Heidegger and Husserl and gives the latter a second chance without falling into Husserlian apologetics. I am impressed by Alweiss's uncommon familiarity with both continental and analytic philosophy and by the maturity of her philosophical judgments. -- Rudolf Bernet, Director of the Husserl Archive and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Leuven, Belgium
