Limit-Problems of Phenomenology

This edited volume examines the so-called “limit-problems” of Husserlian phenomenology, including unconscious life, metaphysics (e.g., God and rational faith), ethics, and affectivity. Husserl is rarely regarded as a thinker who devoted systematic attention to these topics. However, manuscripts published over the last decade reveal that Husserl engaged with these phenomena as systematically as, for instance, Scheler and Heidegger did. The contributions gathered here address dimensions of Husserl's work that have not yet received the sustained scholarly attention they deserve. The book is intended for specialized Husserl scholars, the broader phenomenological and hermeneutic community, and students and researchers working on metaphysical and existential themes more generally. It highlights the importance Husserl himself attached to metaphysical questions, offering fresh perspectives on his metaphysics and late ethics.
