Description
“The dangers of relativism have become one of our major topics of debate as we reflect upon the destiny of Western civilization, and Husserl’s warnings of fifty or eighty years ago sound more, not less, pertinent”. So Leszek Kolakowski writes in his preface to this edition. It is Kolakowski’s purpose here to explain the continuing validity and relevance of Husserl’s questions. He clarifies the philosopher’s contribution to the search for meaning apart from “cognitive show more efficiency,” and for certainty beyond the perils of “an easy and comfortable relativism.” -- Book jacket. show lessTags
