In this third volume of a monumental four book survey of Phenome- nology
world-wide fifty years after the death of its chief founder, Edmund
Husserl, we have a collection of studies which, in the first place,
consider Husserl's legacy in the postmodern world. The extent of our
indebtedness to the Master is shown in explora- tions of the archeology
of knowledge, hermeneutics, and critical studies of language by A. Ales
Bello, P. Pefialver, P. Million, V. Martinez Guzman, H. Rodriguez
Pifiero, Y. Vlaisavlevich, and others. There follow calls for renewing
the critique of reason by C. Schrag, F. Bosio, and J. Lerin Riera and
discussion by D. Laskey, K. G6rniak-Kocikowska, M. R. Barral, Y. Park,
and N. Delle Site on A-T. Tymieniecka's phe- nomenology of life, which
proposes a total reorientation of phenome- nology by introducing a
conception of the human condition in which the human creative act is the
Archimedean point for philosophy.
