Subject in Question

<p><em>The Subject in Question</em> provides a fascinating insight into a debate between two of the twentieth century's most famous philosophers - Jean-Paul Sartre and Edmund Husserl - over the key notions of conscious experience and the self. Sartre's <em>The Transcendence of the Ego</em> published in 1937 is a major text in the phenomenological tradition and sets the course for much of his later work. <em>The Subject in Question</em> is the first full-length study of this famous work and its influence on twentieth-century philosophy. It also investigates the relationship between Sartre's ideas and the earlier work of Descartes and Kant.</p>
