520    Phenomenology is one of the most important and influential
       philosophical movements of the last one hundred years. It 
       began in 1900, with the publication of a massive two-
       volume work, Logical Investigations, by a Czech-German 
       mathematician, Edmund Husserl. It proceeded immediately to
       exert a strong influence on both philosophy and the social
       sciences. For example, phenomenology provided the central 
       inspiration for the existentialist movement, as 
       represented by such figures as Martin Heidegger in Germany
       and Jean-Paul Sartre in France. Subsequent intellectual 
       currents in Europe, when they have not claimed 
       phenomenology as part of their ancestry, have defined 
       themselves in opposition to phenomenology. Thus, to give 
       just one example, the first two works of Jacques Derrida, 
       the father of deconstruction, were devoted to criticisms 
       of Husserl's phenomenological works. In the English-
       speaking world, where 'analytic philosophy' dominates, 
       phenomenology has recently emerged as a hot topic after 
       decades of neglect. This has resulted from a dramatic 
       upswing in interest in consciousness, the condition that 
       makes all experience possible. Since the special 
       significance of phenomenology is that it investigates 
       consciousness, analytic philosophers have begun to turn to
       it as an underutilized resource. For the same reason, 
       Husserl's work is now widely studied by cognitive 
       scientists. The current revival of interest in 
       phenomenology also stems from the recognition that not 
       every kind of question can be approached by means of 
       experimental techniques. Not all questions are scientific 
       in that sense. Thus, if there is to be knowledge in logic,
       mathematics, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, 
       epistemology (theory of knowledge), psychology (from the 
       inside), and the study of consciousness, among others, 
       another method is clearly needed. Phenomenology is an 
       attempt to rectify this. Its aim is to focus on the world 
       as given in experience, and to describe it with 
       unprecedented care, rigor, subtlety, and completeness. 
       This applies not only to the objects of sense experience, 
       but to all phenomena: moral, aesthetic, political, 
       mathematical, and so forth. One can avoid the obscure 
       problem of the real, independent existence of the objects 
       of experience in these domains by focusing instead on the 
       objects, as experienced, themselves, along with the acts 
       of consciousness which disclose them. Phenomenology thus 
       opens up an entirely new field of investigation, never 
       previously explored. Rather than assuming, or trying to 
       discern, what exists outside the realm of the mental, and 
       what causal relations pertain to these extra-mental 
       entities, we can study objects strictly as they are given,
       that is, as they appear to us in experience. This book 
       explains what phenomenology is and why it is important. It
       focuses primarily on the works and ideas of Husserl, but 
       also discusses important later thinkers, giving special 
       emphasis to those whose contributions are most relevant to
       contemporary concerns. Finally, while Husserl's greatest 
       contributions were to the philosophical foundations of 
       logic, mathematics, knowledge, and science, this book also
       addresses extensively the relatively neglected 
       contribution of phenomenology to value theory, especially 
       ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics.
