'Any student of the history of philosophy will want to study the Crisis carefully, both for its historical significance and for its continuing influence, and Moran's introduction is the perfect companion … Moran's book is simultaneously an accessible introduction for non-specialists, an impressive contribution on the history of phenomenology, and an invaluable reference for students and scholars of Husserl. I strongly recommend this companion to anyone reading Husserl's Crisis or seeking a deeper understanding of phenomenology in general.' Donald Landes, Dialogue 'The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology has long occupied a position amongst Edmund Husserl's writings of almost singular renown and influence … Moran sets out to provide what he describes as an 'explanatory and critical introduction' to the Crisis … Moran is more than up to the task, his several recent introductory texts having established him as one of the ablest general expositors of phenomenology.' David J. Bachyrycz, Husserl Studies 'Moran's reconstruction of the vicissitudes surrounding the composition of the Crisis and the development of Husserl's thought leading up to his last work in chapter 1 is invaluable. By way of reactivating the text's cultural and philosophical context, Moran makes the Crisis work as an introduction for contemporary readers.' Andrea Staiti, Research in Phenomenology
