| It is hard to
overestimate the extent of the influence of phenomenology upon 20th
century American and European philosophy. For this reason alone,
phenomenology merits our attention. Moreover, insofar as
phenomenology itself is still very much alive and flourishing, it
demands to be evaluated as a
possibly still-viable philosophical point of view in its own right. In this course, we will investigate phenomenology by tracing out some of the early highpoints its historical development, focusing on texts by Franz BRENTANO (1838–1917), Edmund HUSSERL (1859–1938), and Martin HEIDEGGER (1889–1976), and Maurice MERLEAU-PONTY (1908–61). Our goal will be to achieve a critical understanding of the method, findings, problems, and prospects of phenomenology, by working through some of the major texts of its key proponents.
