Description: Introduction to Phenomenology is an outstanding and comprehensive guide to an important but often little-understood movement in European philosophy. Dermot Moran lucidly examines the contributions of phenomenology's nine-seminal thinkers: Brentano, Husserl, Heidegger, Gadamer, Arendt, Levinas, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Derrida. The volume charts the course of the movement from its origins in Husserl to its transformation by Derrida, along the way describing the thought of Heidegger and Sartre, phenomenology's most famous thinkers, as well as the work of its lesser-known exponents. Clearly explaining technical terms and avoiding jargon, Introduction to Phenomenology is an indispensable introduction to the history and substance of this vital current in intellectual thought.
