Review Quotes:
"Driven by an attempt to consider things in themselves and in the general framework of a generative phenomenology, Steinbock considers in an insightful way the emergence of limit-phenomena. This book does justice to the author's profound conviction that phenomenology has to be open to all types of given and givenness." --Mariano Crespo, Universidad de Navarra
"Steinbock's Limit-Phenomena and Phenomenology in Husserl is both a fine contribution to Husserl scholarship and a rich, original exploration of important phenomenological themes. Steinbock systematically and masterfully elucidates Husserl's meditations on the nature of limit phenomena (birth, death) and the verticality or transcendence that characterizes human experience. Steinbock also demonstrates that phenomenology needs new tools to articulate these phenomena in their modes of givenness, tools Steinbock develops in new and stimulating ways. A most valuable contribution to phenomenology." --Dermot Moran, Professor of Philosophy, University College Dublin "Steinbock's book is a major contribution that will help us to develop the future of phenomenology in a new key. It not only offers a lucid introduction into generative phenomenology and a careful reassessment of phenomenological key concepts, but also succeeds in unfolding the true promise of generative phenomenology, that is, its yet undiscovered normative potentials." --Michael Staudigl, Head of Research, Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna
