In a penetrating and lucid discussion of the enigmatic relationship between the work of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, Steven Galt Crowell proposes that the distinguishing feature of twentieth-century philosophy is not so much its emphasis on language as its concern with meaning. Arguing that transcendental phenomenology is indispensable to the philosophical explanation of the space of meaning, Crowell shows how a proper understanding of both Husserl and Heidegger reveals the distinctive contributions of each to that ongoing phenomenological project.

"Crowell present an original, distinguished addition to contemporary views of both the relation between Husserl and Heidegger and . . . of Heidegger's early and very early philosophical itinerary. . . . [C]ertain to be an important contribution to the field." --Gail Soffer, New School for Social Research
