From his initial writings on imagination and memory, to his recent studies of the glance and the edge, the work of American philosopher Edward S. Casey continues to shape 20th-century philosophy. In this first study dedicated to his rich body of work, distinguished scholars from philosophy, urban studies and architecture as well as artists engage with Casey's research and ideas to explore the key themes and variations of his contribution to the humanities.Structured into three major parts, the volume reflects the central concerns of Casey's writings: an evolving phenomenology of imagination, memory, and place; representation and landscape painting and art; and edges, glances, and voice. Each part begins with an extended interview that defines and explains the topics, concepts, and stakes of each area of research. Readers are thus offered an introduction to Casey’s fascinating body of work, and will gain a new insight into particular aspects and applications of Casey's research.With a complete bibliography and an introduction that at once stresses each of Casey’s areas of research while putting into perspective their overarching themes, this authoritative volume identifies the overall coherence and interconnections of Edward S. Casey's work and his impact on contemporary thought.

It is no exaggeration to say that Edward Casey is an extraordinary philosopher. And this book, consisting of an excellent introduction surveying the entirety of Casey’s work, a deeply probing interview, and thoughtful essays on Casey’s philosophical contributions by colleagues and former students, is much more than testimony to Casey’s influence. Exploring the remarkable range of his thought as the most creative, most exciting, most provocative inheritor of Husserlian phenomenology, the contributions to this volume take the reader on an unforgettable journey. To describe the significance and reward of his thought, I will borrow a concept that he has investigated with impressive rigor and simply say that he is one of the very few whose writing is on the cutting edge.
