Cartesian Meditations: An Introduction to Phenomenology

By Edmund Husserl
Cartesian Meditations: An Introduction to Phenomenology by Edmund Husserl digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The "Cartesian Meditations" translation is based primarily on the printed text, edited by Prof. S. Strasser & published in the 1st volume of Husserliana: Cartesianische Meditationen und Pariser Vorträge. Most of Husserl's emendations, as given in the Appendix to that volume, have been treated as if they were part of the text. The others have been translated in footnotes. 2ndary consideration has been given to a typescript (cited as "Typescript C") on which Husserl wrote in 1933: "Cartes. Meditationen/Originaltext 1929/E. Husserl/für Dorion Cairns". Its use of emphasis & quotation marks conforms more closely to Husserl's practice, as exemplified in works published during his lifetime. In this respect the translation uually follows Typescript C. Moreover, some of the variant readings n this typescript are preferable & have been used as the basis for the translation. Where that is the case, the published text is given or translated in a footnote. The published text & Typescript C have been compared with the French translation by Gabrielle Pfeiffer & Emmanuel Levinas (Paris, Armand Collin, 1931). The use of emphasis & quotation marks in the French translation corresponds more closely to that in Typescript C than to that in the published text. Often, where the wording of the published text & that of Typescript C differ, the French translation indicates that it was based on a text that corresponded more closely to one or the other--usually to Typescript C. In such cases the French translation has been quoted or cited in a foornote.
