<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A short, reader-friendly introduction to perhaps the most influential philosophical school of the 20th century -- phenomenology"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A concise and accessible introduction to phenomenology, which investigates the experience of experience.</b><p>This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers a concise and accessible introduction to phenomenology, a philosophical movement that investigates the experience of experience. Founded by Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) and expounded by Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and others, phenomenology ventures forth into the field of experience so that truth might be met in the flesh. It investigates everything <i>as experienced</i>. It does not study mere appearance but the true appearances of things, holding that the unfolding of experience allows us to sort true appearances from mere appearance. </p><p>The book unpacks a series of terms--world, flesh, speech, life, truth, love, and wonder--all of which are bound up with each other in experience. For example, <i>world</i> is where experience takes place; <i>flesh</i> names the way our experiential exploration is inscribed into the bearings of our bodily being; <i>speech</i> is instituted in bodily presence; <i>truth</i> concerns the way our claims about things are confirmed by our experience. A chapter on the phenomenological method describes it as a means of clarifying the modality of experience that is written into its very fabric; and a chapter on the phenomenological movement bridges its divisions while responding to criticisms from analytic philosophy and postmodernism.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chad Engelland is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of Dallas. He is the author of <i>Heidegger's Shadow: Kant, Husserl, and the Transcendental Turn</i>; <i>The Way of Philosophy: An Introduction</i>; and <i>Ostension: Word Learning and the Embodied Mind</i> (MIT Press).
