Phenomenology Between Philosophy of Mathematics and the History of Philosophy : Essays in Honor of Burt C. Hopkins

Omtale

Burt Hopkins’ decades-long work exemplifies the richness of the phenomenological movement of thought at best. Phenomenology Between Philosophy of Mathematics and the History of Philosophy features original essays that reflect on the scope and influence of his philosophy. Hopkins’ contributions shape a unique path at the intersection of the philosophy of mathematics, the interpretation of crucial historical figures in the history of philosophy—notably, Plato, Aristotle, Kant—and the critical reception and assessment of Husserl’s and Heidegger’s phenomenology. This complex, but coherent production indicates the never-ending endeavor of phenomenology and of its self-critical motivation. The volume is divided into three thematic parts. The first part comprises historical and theoretical contributions in the phenomenological field. The second focuses on important figures in the history of philosophy, particularly in connection with phenomenology. The third investigates the relationship between phenomenology and mathematical sciences. This volume will appeal to scholars and graduate students working in phenomenology, philosophy of mathematics, and history of philosophy.
