His radical rethinking of the phenomenological method results in a universal, objectivist philosophy in direct continuity with Plato, Aristotle and Augustine. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn order to validate the classical claim to know autonomous being, the author defends Husserl's methodological principle \"Back to things themselves\" from empiricist and idealist critics, including the later Husserl, and replies to the arguments of Kant which attempt to discredit the knowability of things in themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1982, this book culminates in a phenomenological and critical unfolding of the Augustinian \u003ci\u003ecogito\u003c\/i\u003e, as giving access to immutable truth about necessary essences and the real existence of personal being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josef Seifert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138964301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138964303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.80d","brand":"Josef Seifert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45933906886911,"sku":"9781138964303","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7865b8fb-3f30-44f9-8ba2-2b537fd87fba.jpg?v=1721789883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/back-to-things-in-themselves-josef-seifert-9781138964303","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
