Reviews

Understanding Phenomenology strikes a masterful balance in tone and content, combining accessibility and sophistication, generality and subtlety, exposition and criticism. The book will be perfect for undergraduate courses on phenomenology, existentialism, and more generally contemporary European philosophy. A superb text - the best introduction to phenomenology available in English. Taylor Carman, Barnard College, Columbia University There is no book in print today that I know of that gives an accessible but responsible overview of the practice of phenomenology from Husserl to Merleau-Ponty. Understanding Phenomenology does this job admirably, and it does more as well. I expect the book to become essential reading for undergraduate classes in phenomenology and perhaps even for introductory graduate courses. Sean Kelly, Princeton University
