 The purpose of this collection is to show the originality of the
phenomenology of Dorion Cairns, arguably Edmund Husserl’s closest
disciple. The word “studies” (in the plural) occurs in the
subtitle because these studies can each stand alone, which entails
some repetition of important passages, and because they vary somewhat
in their approaches, some being more essays and some more editions
than others. While published essays by Cairns are also drawn on, most
of the basis of these studies are his famous and still unpublished New
School lectures in the 1960s, which are quoted from quite extensively.


 The studies in this volume show how he thus creatively continued
Husserl’s work. The philosophic ideal is revised, the account of the
constitution of Others is corrected, the description of sense-transfer
extended, the theory of hyletic data is revised, sensa as well as
appearances are shown to be adumbrative, aspects of the body that
Husserl seemed to have overlooked are described, and original
investigations of appearances and of willing are assembled. A
methodological description is appended that may help make the emphasis
on description and the near absence of argumentation clearer. That
description also helps one understand the focus on individual human
mental life and the sensuous perceiving of physical things as where to
begin. And if they explain away any seeming naturalistic emphasis, the
many references to willing and valuing throughout this book should
also reduce suspicions of intellectualism. Furthermore, there are no
bases for considering phenomenology solipsistic or about disembodied
mental lives to be found here. Cairns was deeply impressed by the
Abbau-Aufbau method and held that Husserl came to recognize the
importance of the primarily passive or automatic infrastratum of
mental life too late completely to adjust his concepts. This
adjustment of concepts guided Cairns’s effort to bring the thought
published by Husserl in his lifetime up to the level of the
Cartesianische Meditationen and the Formale und transzendentale Logik.
And he was always endeavoring to develop better terminology for
phenomenology in English.
