Description

A very good softcover. Inside pages clean with no marks or writing. “The Aims of Phenomenology” by Marvin Farber is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical method of phenomenology, particularly as developed by the late philosopher Edmund Husserl. Farber’s work is significant for its critical examination of Husserl’s thought, offering a fair but “Husserlianly-oriented” hearing of his ideas while also providing informed criticisms, often in the service of naturalism. The book is composed of nine chapters, each addressing different aspects of phenomenology, including its development, methods, and impact on philosophy. Farber’s account of Husserl’s philosophical development is unique, distinguishing between four phases of his thought and emphasizing the idealistic tendencies in his later work. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophical method of phenomenology and its implications for understanding the nature of reality and consciousness.
