Coming from what is arguably the most productive period of Husserl's
life, this volume offers the reader a first translation into English
of Husserl's renowned lectures on `passive synthesis', given between
1920 and 1926. These lectures are the first extensive application of
Husserl's newly developed genetic phenomenology to perceptual
experience and to the way in which it is connected to judgments and
cognition. They include an historical reflection on the crisis of
contemporary thought and human spirit, provide an archaeology of
experience by questioning back into sedimented layers of meaning, and
sketch the genealogy of judgment in `active synthesis'. Drawing upon
everyday events and personal experiences, the Analyses are marked by a
patient attention to the subtle emergence of sense in our lives. By
advancing a phenomenology of association that treats such phenomena as
bodily kinaesthesis, temporal genesis, habit, affection, attention,
motivation, andthe unconscious, Husserl explores the cognitive
dimensions of the body in its affectively significant surroundings. An
elaboration of these diverse modes of evidence and their modalizations
(transcendental aesthetic), allows Husserl to trace the origin of
truth up to judicative achievements (transcendental logic). Joined by
several of Husserl's essays on static and genetic method, the Analyses
afford a richness of description unequalled by the majority of
Husserl's works available to English readers. Students of
phenomenology and of Husserl's thought will find this an indispensable
work.
