'Any student of the history of philosophy will want to study the Crisis carefully, both for its historical significance and for its continuing influence, and Moran's introduction is the perfect companion … Moran's book is simultaneously an accessible introduction for non-specialists, an impressive contribution on the history of phenomenology, and an invaluable reference for students and scholars of Husserl. I strongly recommend this companion to anyone reading Husserl's Crisis or seeking a deeper understanding of phenomenology in general.' Donald Landes, Dialogue
