Preface
Historically,phenomenologybeganinEdmundHusserl’stheoryofmathematicsand
logic, went on to focus for him on transcendental first philosophy and for others
on metaphysics, philosophical anthropology, and theory of interpretation. The con-
tinuing focus has thus been on knowledge and being. But if one began without
thoseinterestsandwithanunderstandingofthephenomenologicalstyleofapproach,
one might well see that art and aesthetics make up the most natural field to be
approached phenomenologically. Contributions to this field have continually been
made in the phenomenological tradition from very early on, but, so to speak, along
theside.(Thesituationhasbeensimilarwithphenomenologicalethics.)Agreatdeal

The contributors are thanked first of all for their contributions from which we
editors have been the first to learn a great deal, but also for their patience with the

Kammler (Rostock) for correcting the proof on the copyedited final version of this

Dr. Daniel Marcelle, Embree’s research assistant at Florida Atlantic University,
is thanked for his quick understanding of the tasks involved and his utterly reli-
able efforts. And Maja de Keijzer of Springer Publishers was her usual cheerful,
understanding,andsupportiveself.
