Biography
Walter Hopp is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Boston University. He is the author of Perception and Knowledge: A Phenomenological Account (2011).
"This book is a tour de force – it’s the best phenomenological treatment of the selected topics I’ve ever read."
Søren Overgaard, University of Copenhagen, Denmark"The reception of Husserl's thinking has suffered from the complexity of his ideas and the awkwardness of his jargon. At long last our suffering is at an end. Walter Hopp has created an introduction to phenomenology that is at the same time a pleasure to read and accurate to its subject-matter. Here begins a new era of Husserl scholarship."
Barry Smith, University at Buffalo, NY, USA"Hopp's book is a terrific study, full of intriguing arguments within a broadly Husserlian approach to phenomenology. I applaud his critical approach to the problems of perception, knowledge, and reality: as Husserl's own results beckon us to extend phenomenology in a context of philosophizing today -- quite as in the spirit of this more than introductory study in phenomenology."
David Woodruff Smith, in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
