'Outstanding ... it offers an overarching introductory account ofthe basic themes and key developmental phases of Husserl's thought,giving a clear picture of its intellectual roots in Cartesian and(most importantly) Kantian philosophy.' Stephen Mulhall, Times Higher EducationSupplement 'Executed with scholarly brio and elegance ... Moran has puttogether a comprehensive - but not tiresome - presentation ofHusserl, boasting a vast and updated array of sources deftlyemployed in exploring the thought and the person behindPhenomenology ... Moran commands Husserl's oeuvreconvincingly, using archival material, published Nachlass,and epistolary sources for the sake of making the reader wellacquainted with this "man of infinite tasks". One will not findhere a languid repetition of famous passages and formulas, butrather an intelligent, systematic recast of Husserl's thought,exhibiting many a precious jewel not found in the more popular,translated works. Moran also does the reader a favor by presentingHusserl in relation to his contemporaries and his followers, aswell as in dialogue with our contemporaries, for whom HusserlianPhenomenology still has much to offer.'
