Meant to follow a systematic revision of Husserl's first five Cartesian Meditations, the Sixth Meditation, written in 1932, constituted a dialogue between Husserl and Fink, on the basic principles of phenomenology and its theoretical limits. The resulting text provides a framework for a radical reinterpretation of phenomenology. It is essential reading for students of twentieth-century thought. |
