Summary:

Edmund Husserl is widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth-century. One of the founders of phenomenology, the Logical Investigations is his most famous work. Published in German in two volumes in 1900 and 1901, it is one of the few works to have influenced philosophers as far apart as Frege and Heidegger. It had a crucial impact on the direction of twentieth-century philosophy.

This is the first time both volumes of this classic work, translated by J. N. Findlay in 1970, have been published in paperback. They include a new preface by Michael Dummett and a new introduction and corrections to the Findlay translation by Dermot Moran.
