Analyses Concerning Passive and Active Synthesis

The book presents a first English translation of Husserl's influential lectures on "passive synthesis," delivered between 1920 and 1926. It marks a significant application of his genetic phenomenology to perceptual experience, exploring its links to judgment and cognition. Additionally, the lectures offer a historical reflection on contemporary thought's crisis, delve into the layers of meaning within experience, and outline the genealogy of judgment through "active synthesis," enriching our understanding of human consciousness and cognition.
