"The essays in this book make important contributions to issues that are current both within and across analytic and phenomenological philosophy. Importantly, the book also helps blur the (artificial) distinction between Analytic and Continental philosophy. The essays are written from a phenomenological perspective with analytic rigor, clarity, and absence of unexplained jargon. They will be accessible to analytic and phenomenological philosophes alike and also to sociologists, psychologists, and other scholars working in these areas." – Ronald McIntyre, California State University, Northridge"This volume is a much welcome addition to the growing research on Husserl’s theory of intersubjectivity. It gathers an impressive roaster of internationally leading experts from both the analytic and continental tradition within Husserl scholarship. Thus, it succeeds in bridging the notorious continental/analytic divide and forcefully brings Husserl’s intricate theory of sociality to bear on a range of topics and disciplines of contemporary relevance." – Thomas Szanto, University of Copenhagen
