Husserlian Foundations of Science

'The work of E. Stroker is in this sense a relevant and much needed interpretation, which is not restricted to the area of scientific cognition but captures the major concerns of phenomenology. Well-documented, logically constructed and clearly argued, the book is at the same time a careful and rigorous account of and an original engagement with main issues in Husserl's phenomenology.' Adina Bozga in Studia Phaenomenologica, II:1-2 (2002)
