Notes

  1. Cf. Hua. XXVII, p. 165; Husserl (1997).

  2. See Sandmeyer, pp. 97 ff. and Zahavi (2004).

  3. See Bruzina (2004), Welton (2000), and Zahavi (2003). Sandmeyer is closest in his goal and intent to Bruzina, as he acknowledges in a footnote (p 215 n.15).

  4. See Smith (2007), Mulligan (1995), and Rollinger (1999).

  5. Dilthey was interested in capturing life and grounding his philosophy in the “living present”, but Sandmeyer downplays the differences between Husserl and Dilthey. The later Husserl saw his phenomenology as a thorough radicalization and re-interpretation of Kantian transcendental idealism. Dilthey by contrast, and for all his interest in Kant, was simply not concerned to restore the original transcendental paradigm. This is made clear when he insists on the limits of reflection’s ability to ground philosophical principles. Dilthey held, for example, that it was “metaphysically impossible” to get behind life. Cf. Dilthey, Gesammelte Schriften vol. 7, Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Göttingen, 1927, cited and explicated by Makkreel (2003).

  6. See, for instance, Bruzina (2004); Crowell (2001); Hopkins (1997); Luft (2002); and Moran (2007).
