Abstract

Today, too little is heard about Aron Gurwitsch, who was one of the clearest expositors of Edmund Husserl’s later philosophy and who, like Maurice Merleau-Ponty, brought together in fruitful synthesis the findings of phenomenology and Gestalt psychology. It is therefore timely that the present set of essays should be published. The collection is comprised of versions of papers, most of them by friends and former students of Gurwitsch, given on November 7–9, 1991, at the New School for Social Research, where he had taught. One article, “Gurwitsch’s Interpretation of Kant: Reflections of a Former Student,” by Henry Allison, has already been published. The volume concludes with “A Bibliography for Gurwitsch Studies,” compiled by one of the editors.
