This introduction to the revolutionary work of Husserl, Heidegger and Sartre studies the ideas of their predecessors too, explaining in detail Descartes's conception of the mind, Brentano's theory of intentionality, and Kierkegaard's emphasis on dread, while tracing the debate over existence and essence as far back as Aquinas and Aristotle. For a full understanding of the existentialists and phenomenologists, we must also understand the problems that they were trying to solve. This book, originally published in 1984, presents clearly how the main concerns of phenomenology and existentialism grew out of tradition.

This book is not about what the title implies. The chapter headings do not summarise the content of the chapters. Disappointing. It is full of the author's opinions and (limited) understanding of the title, in my view. The book is mainly about what preceded phenomenology and existentialism. Don Ihde's 'Experimental Phenomenology' is a far better introduction to phenomenology. Grossman is largely talking about himself. The book would be better entitled 'what Grossman thinks about philosophy'.
