"...fulfils its aims admirably, providing an advanced introductory survey of the whole of Husserl's vast empire, together with provocative and illuminating interventions on a number of important particular points and disputes." - Wayne Martin, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"This is a first-rate volume... the text is rich with historical background and comment. But it is the clarity and depth of understanding with which David W. Smith explains the material that is so overwhelmingly present. An excellent work." - Gayle L. Ormiston, Marshall University, USA
