Critical study of Husserl's Nachwort

Aron Gurwitsch

pp. 119-127

Husserl's Ideen zu einer reinen Phänomenologie und phänomenologischen Philosophie appeared in the year 1913. In the recent "Postscript" (Nachwort) (identical with the Foreword to the English edition of 1931), Husserl explicates the Ideen, it is true, but only in reference to a few major points. This self-explication is naturally limited in its range. Husserl stresses there what he saw as essentially new and, understood in a radical sense, as philosophical in the enterprise initiated as a first beginning, according to his own words, but with full awareness of the goal.
