This book is the first anthology to provide a wide-ranging picture of how phenomenology relates to language. It contains both in-depth studies on new aspects of language in Husserl's thought as well as original phenomenological research that explores the respective potentials and limits of linguistic expression and conceptualization.

The fourteen texts gathered here may have a single aim, but their content varies depending on the respective author's intention: either to discuss problems of language within the Husserlian framework, to address philosophical issues of language proceeding from a phenomenological viewpoint, or to provide a reflection on phenomenology's relation to language. Thus, rather than being organized by topic, the collection has been arranged into three parts, according to the respective authors' philosophical approaches.

Zusammenfassung

The work aims at presenting new in-depth research on core topics of Husserl's thinking related to language (e.g., meaning, sign, ideality) supplemented with a variety of original phenomenological reflections on pre-linguistic experience, concept-formation and the limitations of (verbal) expression. In doing so, it supplies us the first anthology that focuses on Husserl's thinking in relation to language.

Most of the contributions to this volume are based on research originally presented at the Husserl Arbeitstage, which took place at the Husserl-Archives Leuven in November 2006. In addition, two other articles have been added in order to supplement the themes of the presentations.
