Book Description

Publication Date: 21 Jun 2007 | ISBN-10: 0826486835 | ISBN-13: 978-0826486837
Franz Brentano (1838-1917) is almost unique as a forefather of both Analytic and Continental philosophy. His claim to fame is the reintroduction of intentionality (the 'aboutness' of consciousness) to the modern philosophy of mind. In the Analytic tradition, this is treated as (or as closely akin to) representation. In the Continental tradition, intentionality is the leitmotiv of phenomenology. Ryan Hickerson's book offers new interpretations of a central philosophical concept employed in the Brentano School. He argues against the now-standard misreading of Brentano (in both the Analytic and Continental traditions) as Immanentist, i.e. someone who believed that mental contents exist solely within the mind.

Product Description

Review

"Hickerson's work has opened up extremely illuminating perspectives. aThe results are fascinating, combining careful historical reconstruction with philosophical insight. Hickerson's prism brings order to the competing positions in the early development of phenomenology and the Brentano School; the book will be of interest to anyone who has tried to understand the distinctive mode of relation between experience and its objects." Wayne Martin, University of California, San Diego
