"Understanding Phenomenology" provides a guide to one of the most important schools of thought in modern philosophy. The book traces phenomenology''s historical development, beginning with its founder, Edmund Husserl and his "pure" or "transcendental" phenomenology, and continuing with the later, "existential" phenomenology of Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The book also assesses later, critical responses to phenomenology - from Derrida to Dennett - as well as the continued significance of phenomenology for philosophy today. Written for anyone coming to phenomenology for the first time, the book guides the reader through the often bewildering array of technical concepts and jargon associated with phenomenology and provides clear explanations and helpful examples to encourage and enhance engagement with the primary texts.

Industry Reviews

"Understanding Phenomenology strikes a masterful balance in tone and content, combining accessibility and sophistication, generality and subtlety, exposition and criticism. It is a superb text - the best introduction to phenomenology available in English." - Taylor Carman, Barnard College, Columbia University "There is no book in print today that I know of that gives an accessible but responsible overview of the practice of phenomenology from Husserl to Merleau-Ponty. Understanding Phenomenology does this job admirably, and it does more as well - essential reading for undergraduate classes in phenomenology." - Sean Kelly, Princeton University "I enjoyed reading Cerbone's book and would certainly recommend it to my students as a jargon-free and reliable account of the central figures in phenomenology." - Dermot Moran, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
