The Transcendence of the World: Phenomenological Studies

by Richard Holmes

tagged: pneumatology, phenomenology, religious
Description

In The Transcendence of the World, Richard Holmes brings together some of the major figures in the phenomenological movement to help explain our experience of the world—the world meant as independent of any particular awareness of it. Focussing on the writings of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Jean-Paul Sartre, Holmes delivers an accessible and coherent account of both the method and results of phenomenological analysis. He offers a critical appraisal of the works of these great thinkers and presents his own radical analyses in order to make sense of our experience of the world, and also the theory of quantum mechanics that purports to describe this world.
This book will be an important resource for students and scholars of philosophy and for all those interested in twentieth-century continental ideas.
