The purpose of Sebastian Luft s book is threefold: first, to contribute to the renaissance of Husserl interpretation inspired by the continuing publication of Husserl's works, mainly his unpublished manuscripts; second, to account for the historical origins and influence of the phenomenological project by articulating Husserl's relationship to authors before and after him; and finally, to argue for the continuing viability of the transcendental-phenomenological project, as conceived by Husserl in his later years, for contemporary thought.
