History and Substance of Husserl's Logical Investigations -- Youding SHEN: The First Phenomenologist in China -- Husserl's Attack on Psychologism and its Cultural Implications -- Between Saying and Showing: Reflections on Husserl's Theory of Occasional Expressions -- Pure Logical Grammar: Identity Amidst Linguistic Differences -- The Problem of the Phenomenology of Feeling in Husserl and Scheler -- Intentionality and Religiosity: Religion from a Phenomenological Viewpoint -- Desiring to Know through Intuition -- Authentic Thinking and Phenomenological Method -- The Problem of Being in Logical Investigations -- Foucault and Husserl's Logical Investigations: the Unsuspected French Connection.

This volume is the first of its kind in which phenomenologists from the West join hands with specialists from mainland China and Hong Kong to discuss the heritage of Husserl's Logical Investigations. Whereas all Western contributors to the volume are scholars who possess indubitable authority in phenomenology, their Chinese counterparts are much less well-known in the Western academic arena. Yet the latters' contributions are of the utmost interest. From them readers will learn of the early reception of Husserl's Logical Investigations in China. They will also understand in what way Husserl's doctrine of intentionality of consciousness in the Logical Investigations has paved the way to Scheler's phenomenology of feeling, to a novel phenomenological explication of religious experience, as well as to the little known young Foucault's tentative formulation of a paradoxical phenomenology of the dream. Last but not least, they will also discover how a young Chinese scholar undertakes a thorough reassessment of the problem of being in Husserl in the light of Heideggerian ontology. With these joint perspectives - Western and Chinese - we hope that this volume will contribute to demonstrate the surprisingly rich and inexhaustible life that Husserl's Logical Investigations continues to enjoy in the new century.
