A prolific scholar, he explored an enormous landscape of philosophical subjects, including philosophy of math, logic, theory of meaning, theory of consciousness and intentionality, and ontology in addition to phenomenology.This deeply insightful book traces the development of Husserl s thought from his earliest investigations in philosophyinformed by his work as a mathematicianto his publication of "Ideas" in 1913. Jitendra N. Mohanty, an internationally renowned Husserl scholar, presents a masterful study that illuminates Husserl s central concerns and provides a definitive assessment of the first phases of the philosopher s career."
Review Quotes:
"No other scholars come close to J.N Mohanty in the depth of their insights or their mastery of Husserl's works. This is Mohanty's summa, his definitive attempt to figure Husserl out once and for all. The result is a great success, a deeply insightful reading of one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century."--David Carr, Emory University
