<p>“Käufer and Chemero have written a superb introduction to phenomenology, not merely as a chapter in intellectual history or as a gallery of great thinkers, but as a living tradition in philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science.”<br /><b>Taylor Carman, Professor of Philosophy, Barnard College, Columbia University</b></p> <p>“A sparklingly clear and widely insightful introduction to phenomenology for beginners – which, if we are phenomenologists, includes all of us. Highly recommended.”<br /><b>Gayle Salamon, Professor of English, Princeton University</b></p> <p>Praise for the first edition:<br />“A remarkably thorough and comprehensible account of the history of phenomenology that offers illuminating commentary on the work of Kant, Wundt, Husserl, Heidegger, Gestalt psychologists, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, and Gibson.”<br /><b>Hubert Dreyfus, Former Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Berkeley</b></p>
