Crisis and Husserlian Phenomenology
«Returning "to the things themselves" with philosophical acumen and philological accuracy, Kenneth Knies's Crisis and Husserlian Phenomenology sets an excellent example of how to do phenomenology with and beyond Husserl about crucial concerns that he and we share, for example, the power of presuppositions, the force of awakenings, the attraction of attitudes, the necessity of appropriations, and the significance of seriousness—just to name a few.»
George Heffernan, Professor of Philosophy, Merrimack College, USA
Shedding new light on the theme of "crisis" in Husserl's phenomenology, this book reflects on the experience of awakening to one's own naïveté. Beginning from everyday examples, Knies examines how this awakening makes us culpable for not having noticed what was noticeable. Les mer
Crisis and Husserlian Phenomenology brings Husserl into dialogue with other key thinkers in Continental philosophy such as Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and Derrida. It is suitable for students and scholars alike, especially those interested in subjectivity, responsibility and the philosophy of history.

«Kenneth Knies offers an expansive investigation of the connection in Husserl's thinking between a phenomenology of consciousness and a phenomenology of awakening in a time of crisis. Based on a balanced combination of illuminating interpretations of Husserl's writings and suggestive developments of key phenomenological concepts, Knies' work ranges over a host of themes in exploring the complexity and challenge of self-reflection and self-responsibility, not only for the crisis of Husserl's time, but just as much for our own.»
Nicolas De Warren, Associate Professor of Philosophy, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
«This is a remarkable book. Knies has an unerring feel for phenomenological description and writes in an elegant, jargon-free style accessible even to readers who have no prior knowledge of Husserl and the phenomenological tradition. In a completely original way, Knies moves from an analysis of what it is to “presuppose” something to a defense of transcendental phenomenology as “awakening” to a “naivete” for which we henceforth become responsible. What Husserl called “crisis” thus belongs to subjectivity as well as to history, a theme that is deeply pursued in this exemplary work of philosophy. A must-read.»
