PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Kenneth Knies is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Sacred Heart University, Connecticut, USA. His primary research focus is phenomenology. He is also interested in ancient philosophy and the differing approaches to transcendental subjectivity in the modern tradition.
This is a remarkable book. Knies has an unerring feel for phenomenological description and writes in an elegant, jargon-free style accessible even to readers who have no prior knowledge of Husserl and the phenomenological tradition. In a completely original way, Knies moves from an analysis of what it is to presuppose something to a defense of transcendental phenomenology as awakening to a naivete for which we henceforth become responsible. What Husserl called crisis thus belongs to subjectivity as well as to history, a theme that is deeply pursued in this exemplary work of philosophy. A must-read. * Steven Crowell, Mullen Professor of Humanities, Rice University, USA * Returning to the things themselves with philosophical acumen and philological accuracy, Kenneth Knies's Crisis and Husserlian Phenomenology sets an excellent example of how to do phenomenology with and beyond Husserl about crucial concerns that he and we share, for example, the power of presuppositions, the force of awakenings, the attraction of attitudes, the necessity of appropriations, and the significance of seriousness-just to name a few. * George Heffernan, Professor of Philosophy, Merrimack College, USA *
