About this book

Layers in Husserl's Phenomenology situates Husserl firmly within the trajectory of later Continental thought and contributes to the recent reconsideration of Husserl as a legitimate precursor to the thought of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jacques Derrida.

Reviews

Joona Taipale:

‘This book as a whole is an adventurous and ambitious piece of phenomenology, clearly written with enthusiasm and passion.’

Kirsten Jacobson, Department of Philosophy, University of Maine:

‘This powerful, highly illuminating study of the notion of layering in Husserl’s phenomenology makes a significant and original contribution to both Husserl scholarship and contemporary Continental philosophy in general. Comprehensive and up to date, it is especially forceful in its presentation of its two central themes, the intersubjectivity and the “layering” of our experience. Peter R. Costello has done an excellent job of writing in a very accessible and engaging prose style and of performing a careful and synthetic scholarly study of a wide range of Husserl’s texts.’

Joona Taipale:

‘Costello’s Husserl interpretation can be considered as a layer in the book which as a whole is an adventurous and ambitious piece of phenomenology, clearly written with enthusiasm and passion.’

Rachel Robinson:
‘Costello provides a valuable addition to Husserlian scholarship, primarily due to the clarity of his writing and excellent choice of examples.’

Scott Marratto:

‘It is a superbly written study of the philosophy of Edmund Husserl…Costello's book makes a significant contribution to the field, and will be important for scholars and students alike, both for the study of Husserl and for the broader question of phenomenology's importance as a fruitful approach to urgent issues in philosophy.’
