Synopsis
Dan Zahavi offers an in-depth and up-to-date analysis of central and contested aspects of the philosophy of Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology. What is ultimately at stake in Husserl's phenomenological analyses? Are they primarily to be understood as investigations of consciousness or are they equally about the world? What is distinctive about phenomenological transcendental philosophy, and what kind of metaphysical import, if any, might it have? Husserl's Legacy offers an interpretation of the more overarching aims and ambitions of Husserlian phenomenology and engages with some of the most contested and debated questions in phenomenology. Central to its interpretative efforts is the attempt to understand Husserl's transcendental idealism. Husserl's Legacy argues that Husserl was not an internalist, nor a quietist when it comes to metaphysical issues; that he assigned a fundamental importance to facticity and intersubjectivity; and that he was not opposed to all forms of naturalism.

Dan Zahavi's latest book on Husserl has many merits. Not only does it offer a clear, sharp, and detailed reconstruction of the Husserlian phenomenological project, but it also stands out for its ambitious aim of highlighting the usefulness of a sound reading of historical texts to address theoretical questions....Zahavi's reconstruction of Husserl's philosophy succeeds in showing not only the complexity and richness of Husserl's project, but also the philosophical
viability and relevance of his transcendental approach * Rosario Croce, Philosophical Inquiries * ...all of the advantages of Zahavi's excellent readings of Husserl and the positions he takes in Husserl's Legacy regarding the continued importance and relevance of phenomenology are preserved in this account. And for those readings and positions-with their exceptional clarity and importance-we are indebted and grateful. * John J. Drummond, Fordham University, Husserl Studies * Over the past twenty-five years, Dan Zahavi has established himself as a foremost interpreter of Edmund Husserl's phenomenology and a leading contributor to the development of contemporary phenomenology. He is renowned for showing that phenomenology is a viable and valuable alternative for addressing contemporary controversies in the philosophy of mind, the cognitive sciences, and social ontology and epistemology. Both facets of his work are on display in
Husserl's Legacy. * John Drummond, Husserl Studies * Clear, well-informed, and persuasive. * Tom Nenon, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * Zahavi's latest book, Husserl's Legacy, is a major achievement * Joona Taipale, ProtoSociology * Dan Zahavi has written an observant and sympathetic account of Husserl's philosophy viewed in a contemporary context. * D.W. Smith, European Journal of Philosophy *
