Introduction

Jim Ruddy

pp. 1-30

This chapter shows how the work of Edmund Husserl and Edith Stein and the classical eidetics of real relation found in Aristotle, Aquinas and Sankara have led Ruddy to proceed forth to found a new phenomenology of relation-like objectivity entitled convergent phenomenology. The notion of the "nesting" of one a priori science inside another is explained. Then the seamless and wholly phenomenological manner in which Stein treats of both Aquinas and Husserl is used as an analogy to the way convergent phenomenology itself treats of what Ruddy calls adesse (relation-like) objectivity. Finally, quotations from Husserl are expanded to show what the author has assumed from Husserl's traditional phenomenology thus viewed as inesse (thing-like) objectivity.
