POSSIBLY THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK OF THE 20th CENTURY
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I am surprised that there have been no reviews for this splendid book. Husserl's IDEAS is a significant book in the history of human thought and Western philosophy, any student of philosophy or psychology would do themselfs a favor by reading this very important book. It is not my intention to write a Cliff's notes review regarding the content of this book, but the modern reader will find that Husserl's ideas makes points that expand on Kant's CRITIQUE OF PURE REASON. Ideas refers to transcendental phenomenonlgy, a school of thought that placeshuman experience into a realm of personal understanding attained through a series of conceptual reductions. A trained phenomenologist (sic.) should be able to reduce objects of experience to their fundamental concepts, then remove these concepts to understand the essential features of human experience. This "PHENOMENOLOGICAL REDUCTION" is applicable to all phenomena, and when applied properly this technique isolates human experience to certain core concepts that are universal to all phenomena irregardless of space and time. I believe that Husserl's Ideas is an invaluble contribution to modern psychology, and should be required reading for all students in a liberal arts program.
