Paul Ricoeur was one of the foremost interpreters and translators of Edmund Husserl's philosophy. These nine essays present Ricoeur's interpretation of the most important of Husserl's writings, with emphasis on his philosophy of consciousness rather than his work in logic. In Ricoeur's philosophy, phenomenology and existentialism came of age and these essays provide an introduction to the Husserlian elements which most heavily influenced his own philosophical position.

Excerpt from Histoire de la Philosophie Allemande Le rapport de l'ame avec Dieu est donc un pur etat india viducl, un etat interieur, indefinissable pour la raison; et c'est bien la du subjectivisme puisque l'homme de foi est le seul vrai pretre et le seul capable d'interpreter les Ecritures; et la est le contraste que nous signalions; l'individu se depasse en quelque sorte lui-meme non pas en se rattachant a un etre de valeur universelle, a la raison ou a la (...) societe, mais grace a un etat interieur, grace a la simple force de sa conviction, qui lui est sans doute donnee d'ailleurs, mais qui reste pourtant une modification de son ame.
