Husserl's phenomenology and Sartre's existentialism

Herbert Spiegelberg

pp. 51-61

In the public eye even today phenomenology is mostly identified with the name of Edmund Husserl and existentialism with that of Jean-Paul Sartre. It therefore still makes good sense to use their versions as entrance wedges for a first understanding of the relations between the two movements. I propose to do so by first bringing out some historical facts about their actual connections or lack of them and then to discuss their essential relations in a more systematic fashion.
