Histoire et vérité
Awww. I can't help much with description but simply want to signal that the catalogue entry is wrong: the actual e-book which the title "Histoire et vérité" refers to is a book on American Indians! Please correct this! Thanks, Andre De Winne
La théorie de l'intuition dans la phénoménologie de Husserl
In this landmark study, Emmanuel Levinas discusses the aspects and function of intuition in Husserl's thought and its meaning for philosophical self-reflection. An essential and illuminating explication of central issues in Husserl's phenomenology, it is also important as a formative work of one of this century's most distinguished philosophers. Levinas focuses on the role of intuition, which he explains as "the theoretical act of consciousness that makes objects present to us." He demonstrates how Husserl's theory of intuition follows directly from his new conception of being. He then identifies intuition as the original phenomenon that leads to the concept of truth itself. In this analysis, he shows that Husserl's theory of being opens up an entirely new philosophical dimension.
