Being, Relation, and the Re-worlding of Intentionality

by Jim Ruddy

Overview

In this book, Jim Ruddy has proceeded deep into the hub-center of Husserl’s transcendental subjectivity and unearthed an utterly new phenomenological method. A vast, originative a priori science emerges for the reader. Ruddy presents a unique and powerful eidetic science wherein the object consciousness of Husserl is suddenly shown to point beyond itself to the ultimate theme of the pure subject consciousness of God as He is in Himself. Thus, the book opens up an endlessly new, unrestricted realm of objective material for phenomenology to exfoliate and describe. This is an important work for both general phenomenologists and for scholars of Husserl, Aquinas, and Edith Stein.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Jim Ruddy’s relentless exploration of the illusive notion of relation and its place in Being is itself a reminder of the sort of radical insights that phenomenology inspires.” (Donn Welton, Professor Emeritus, Stony Brook University, USA)
