"I cannot recommend Bruce Smith's book highly enough to any researcher interested in deepening their understanding of historical phenomenology. The first chapter on As You Like It manifests-through an analysis of the modern use of the quotative "like" and three contrasting portraits of Bacon, Descartes and Husserl in their private studies of phenomena-the central goals and underpinnings of this theoretical approach." (Routledge ABES, 2011) "But Smith's pleasure-seeking book, a useful corrective to the worst excesses of historicism is police-like in its own way". (Times Higher Education Supplement, 25 November 2010)
