PREFACE
Thomas Sheehan and Richard E. Palmer
The materials translated in the body of this volume date from 1927 through
1931. The Encyclopaedia Britannica Article and the Amsterdam Lectures
were written by Edmund Hussed (with a short contribution by Martin Heideg
ger) between September 1927 and April 1928, and Hussed's marginal notes to
Sein und Zeit and Kant und das Problem der Metaphysik were made between
1927 and 1929. The appendices to this volume contain texts from both Hussed
and Heidegger, and date from 1929 through 1931. As a whole these materials
not only document Hussed's thinking as he approached retirement and emeri
tus status (March 31, 1928) but also shed light on the philosophical chasm that
was widening at that time between Hussed and his then colleague and protege,
Martin Heidegger.
1. The Encyclopaedia Britannica Article
Between September and early December 1927, Hussed, under contract,
composed an introduction to phenomenology that was to be published in the
fourteenth edition ofthe Encyclopaedia Britannica (1929). Hussed's text went
through four versions (which we call Drafts A, B, C, and D) and two editorial
condensations by other hands (which we call Drafts E and F). Throughout this
volume those five texts as a whole are referred to as "the EB Article" or
simply "the Article."
Hussed's own final version of the Article, Draft D, was never published
during his lifetime; the German edition of it appeared only in 1962.1 However,
in its 14th edition the Encyclopaedia Britannica did publish, over the signa
ture "E. Hu.," a 4000-word article entitled "Phenomenology." However, that
essay, which was done into English by Dr. Christopher V. Salmon of Oxford,
is not a translation so much as a paraphrase of Hussed' s 7000-word fourth and
I The Gennan edition of Draft D of the EB Article was first published in Edmund Husserl, Phiinome
nologische Psychologie: Vorlesungen Sommersemester 1925, ed. Walter Biemel, Husserliana: Gesammelte
Werke, vol. IX, The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1962; 2nd edition, 1968; "Erganzende Texte, A. Abhandlun
gen," pp. 277-301. This Gennan edition is hereinafter abbreviated as "Hu IX" followed by the page number.
