Husserl and the Sciences

Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) is one of the previous century's most important thinkers. Often regarded as the "Father of phenomenology," this collection of essays reveals that he is indeed much more than that. The breadth of Husserl's thought is considerable and much remains unexplored. An underlying theme of this volume is that Husserl is constantly returning to origins, revising his thought in the light of new knowledge offered by the sciences.

Dr. Richard Feist has published articles on the history and philosophy of mathematics, the history and philosophy of science - especially the foundations of relativity theory, phenomenology, the process thought of Alfred North Whitehead, as well as in ethical theory and metaphysics. Dr. Feist has recently co-edited and published another collection of articles on Husserl, titled, Husserl and Stein. He is currently working on several projects: a forthcoming collection of articles on the relationship between science and religion, a text on the relationship between metaphysics and ethics, as well as a full-length study of the thought and life of Hermann Weyl.  Dr. Feist has taught at the University of Lethbridge, the University of Western Ontario, the University of Ottawa, and is currently as assistant professor and acting vice-Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, St. Paul University in Ottawa.
