Quest for Measure

Beschreibung

Quest for Measure investigates the problem of truth within the context of German phenomenology. After tracing the evolution of the Husserlian concept of truth as evidence, the study examines how the untested speculative presuppositions inherent in Husserl's position necessitated a fundamental radicalization of the phenomenological method. Heidegger's aletheiological truth concept sought to provide the ontological underpinnings for Husserl's concept of evidence, but it too was not without certain speculative presuppositions: namely, an inexplicit understanding of Being as measure. The investigation culminates by unfolding the question of measure as a third dimension of the phenomenological problem of truth.

Stimmen zu »Quest for Measure«

«Dr. Gogel pursues the questions of thinking and truth to the point that they in turn question our thinking and our existence.» (Charles Courtney, Drew University) «Quest for Measure can be read as an introduction to Husserl and Heidegger...as well as an exposition of Gogel's own thesis about measure...Also appealing for the less experienced reader is the fact that Gogel makes extensive use of work by Heidegger which is not yet available in English. Most important of all, perhaps, is the sense of excitement which Gogel brings to his thesis and his ability to relate it to other fundamental issues in current philosophy.» (James H. Stam, Upsala College) «Raymond Gogel's study is a sustained and concentrated critical engagement with a major, structural theme in Heidegger's philosophical thinking.» (George B. Pepper, Iona College)
