(Uniwersytet im. A. Mickiewicza w Poznaniu Wydział Nauk Społecznych, Instytut Filozofii UAM, 2015) Husserl, Edmund
This text is the ‘first draft” (erster Entwurf) of Edmund Husserl’s
article for the 14th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
The text had four versions (A, B, C, D) and it received its final
version after many months of work. This ‘first draft’ has a cognitive
value as it reflects Husserl’s spontaneous intuitions about
understanding of phenomenology and a phenomenological method
in the vein of transcendental philosophy, which he has created,
developed, improved and on and on modified.
