Abstract

Determining the place of phenomenology in the spectrum of philosophical persuasions and styles has been a peculiarly difficult question to resolve. A not inconsiderable amount of effort has been devoted to it, as well as the correlative issue concerning the meaning of phenomenology itself. Certainly, these issues form part of the motive for Husserl’s repeated efforts to “introduce” phenomenology; and practically every philosopher working within the field has at some point felt compelled to address himself to them.
