Abstract

This recent publication by Professor Spiegelberg comprises a companion volume to his comprehensive study, The Phenomenological Movement. It includes some of the detailed researches, spread out over a considerable period of time, which did not find their way into his extensive history of phenomenological philosophy. This is not to say that this current project simply gathers that which we had previously thrown away. Some of the included essays have already been published in other media. All of them are important studies in their own right and provide a rich background of historical details and critical assessments that flesh out the context of the phenomenological movement. Hence, the essays deliver precisely what is promised in the title.
