Iso Kern’s opening chapter is not only intended to serve as an introduction to and general commentary on Husserl’s phenomenology of intersubjectivity, covering a broad spectrum of relevant issues and texts, and adding some critical assessments. It also determines the way the present volume is organized.
This is the first time Kern offers a detailed overview of this entire field of inquiry for an English-speaking audience. Kern is a leading expert on intersubjectivity in Husserl. He is the editor of the three Husserliana volumes— Hua XIII– XV, from the Nachlass— on the phenomenology of intersubjectivity. No one knows this textual material better than he does. His introduction brings up central topics related to intersubjectivity and also hints at various points of contact between Husserlian phenomenology and developmental psychology— suggestions which are taken up by some of the contributors.
