Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy

Husserl's Ideas is one of the most important works of twentieth-century philosophy, offering a detailed introduction to the phenomenological method, including the reduction, and outlining the overall scope of phenomenological philosophy. Husserl's explorations of the a priori structures of intentionality, consciousness, perceptual experience, evidence and rationality continue to challenge contemporary philosophy of mind. Dan Dahlstrom's accurate and faithful translation, written in pellucid prose and in a fluid, modern idiom, brings this classic work to life for a new generation. -Dermot Moran, University College, Dublin

Dahlstrom's new translation is a blessing for Anglophone readers of Husserl. It surpasses the two pre-existing translations in balancing readability, elegance, rigour, and faithfulness to the German original. Not only has Dahlstrom provided us with a superb translation of the founding document of transcendental phenomenology, he has set an unbeatable standard for future translations of Husserl's work into English. -Andrea Staiti, Boston College
