A. D. Smith is lecturer in the department of Philosophy at the University of Essex. He has written in various journals as well as an article in the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
"David Smith's "Husserl is a timely book which provides an excellent introduction to the "Cartesian Meditations and thus to phenomenology as such. Smith displays a gift in making accessible a text that is mostly regarded as highly complex and ridden with philosophical jargon... [it] will most likely become an essential introductory book to any student wishing to become acquainted with Husserl's work."
-Lilian Alweiss, Trinity College Dublin

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Husserl has enjoyed a revival of interest in recent years and the Cartesian Meditations is perhaps his most widely read text. The book is an introduction to Husserl's phenomenology and is based on Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy . Husserl attempts to show how Descartes discovered the 'transcendental' perspective which is essential to any genuine philosophy. Until now there has never been a secondary text on this important and influential work on philosophy. This book, in conjunction with the text itself, will serve as a proper introduction to Husserlian phenomenology - a philosophy that is attracting increasing interest within the analytical tradition, as well as being regarded as one of the most important developments in philosophy from within the 'continental tradition'. A.D. Smith introduces and assesses the key concepts that arise in the book in clear and engaging way. His style is highly accessible and suitable for anyone coming to the Cartesian Meditations for the first time. Based on Descartes' "Meditations on First Philosophy", this book is an introduction to Husserl's phenomenology. Husserl attempts to show how Descartes discovered the "transcendental" perspective which is essential to any genuine philosophy.
