Founded by Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) and expounded by Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and others, phenomenology ventures forth into the field of experience so that truth might be met in the flesh. It investigates everything \u003ci\u003eas experienced\u003c\/i\u003e. It does not study mere appearance but the true appearances of things, holding that the unfolding of experience allows us to sort true appearances from mere appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book unpacks a series of terms--world, flesh, speech, life, truth, love, and wonder--all of which are bound up with each other in experience. For example, \u003ci\u003eworld\u003c\/i\u003e is where experience takes place; \u003ci\u003eflesh\u003c\/i\u003e names the way our experiential exploration is inscribed into the bearings of our bodily being; \u003ci\u003espeech\u003c\/i\u003e is instituted in bodily presence; \u003ci\u003etruth\u003c\/i\u003e concerns the way our claims about things are confirmed by our experience. A chapter on the phenomenological method describes it as a means of clarifying the modality of experience that is written into its very fabric; and a chapter on the phenomenological movement bridges its divisions while responding to criticisms from analytic philosophy and postmodernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChad Engelland is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of Dallas.
