"Husserl On Depiction | Philosophy

The publication of Husserliana XXIII “Phantasie Bildbewusstsein Erinnerung” in 1980 and John B. Brough’s translation of it in 2005 increased interest in Edmund Husserl’s philosophy of depiction. This volume is the first comprehensive book collection in English that provides a systematic reading of Husserl’s theory of depictive image consciousness. The book explains the meaning of various concepts in Husserl’s philosophy of depiction-such as Bildobjekt Vergegenwärtigung Perzeption - and examines the range and limits of the application of Husserl’s depictive image consciousness to various art practices and media and to other mental acts e.g. phantasy memory. The book discusses among other topics empathy symbolic presentation and the aesthetic experience of depictions. Additionally the book compares Husserl’s theory of depiction with that of other philosophers notably Franz Brentano Jean-Paul Sartre Maurice Merleau-Ponty Roman Ingarden Leopold Blaustein and Jean Baudrillard. Husserl on Depiction will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in phenomenology philosophy of perception philosophy of art aesthetics and pictorial representation.
