Edmund Husserl is widely regarded as one of the
most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. The
founder of phenomenology, the Logical Investigations is his
most famous work. Published in two volumes in 1900, it had a decisive impact on the direction of twentieth century philosophy. It is one of the few works to have influenced philosophers as far apart as Frege and Heidegger and had a crucial
impact on the development of both continental and analytic philosophy. This paperback abridged edition of J.N.
Findlay's
translation makes the key sections of this classic work available in one volume for the first time. It has been specially edited and includes a new introduction by Dermot Moran, placing the Logical Investigations in historical context and bringing out its importance for contemporary philosophy. This shorter version also includes a new preface by Sir Michael
Dummett.

Reviews for The Shorter Logical Investigations
For years students and teachers of Husserl's 'breakthrough' work, as he calls it, have had to contend with the original hardcover edition that was almost as inaccessible as it was expensive. Not only can members of the graduate seminars now avail themselves of a reasonable priced, complete edition, but teachers of undergraduate students can introduce them to this rich work in abridged form at a relatively inexpensive price. <br>-Daniel Dalhstrom, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, April 11, 2002 <br>
