The Concrete and the Plural - Lee Nam-In - Bog

As the motto »To the matters themselves!« (Zu den Sachen selbst!)
shows, Husserl's phenomenology seeks to ground philosophy and the
sciences on a solid foundation by going back to things themselves as
concrete matters. Ever since the publication of Husserl's Logical Investigations
in the year 1900/1911 that launched the phenomenological
movement, there have been many interpreters who believe that Husserl's
phenomenology is abstract and monistic. The aim of this book
is to correct these interpretations by showing that it is a concrete and
pluralistic philosophy.
Discussing some basic themes such as intentionality, transcendental
genesis, transcendental subjectivity, the life-world, the relationship
between philosophy and empirical disciplines, and the issue of first
philosophy and metaphysics, this book explains how the topic of >The
Concrete and the Plural< guided Husserl in developing his phenomenology
from the beginning to the end and develops phenomenology
into a more concrete and more pluralistic philosophy than any other
philosophy that has appeared up until now.
