"It is not often that one finds a work that is both radically original and carefully thought through. This book is both. It is striking out along new lines to formulate a general position which is opposed to Husserl's transcendental idealism as well as Heidegger's hermeneutic philosophy of being. In this way it shows the inexhaustible richness of our lived experience and the fruitfulness of reflecting on its form and patterns. The work deserves to be widely read…" – John Wild.
