Does it still make sense to talk about Heidegger and Husserl in terms of confrontation? Until recently, the vision we had of Husserl was strongly influenced by the interpretations offered at the time by Heidegger and Sartre. However, in light of the textual evidence currently available thanks to the editing work carried out in the framework of the Husserliana and the Complete Works of Heidegger, it is no longer possible to sustain such a simplified image of neither of the two thinkers. This volume brings together a series of works that reevaluate the relationship between Heidegger and Husserl. This reevaluation has been underway for some time now and can be seen as part of a broader appropriation of phenomenology, which is of enormous interest not only to the cognitive sciences and analytical philosophy of the mind, but also to philosophy itself. Perhaps for this reason it is useful to overcome the artificial division between reflexive phenomenology and hermeneutic phenomenology and give way to a new and fruitful philosophical dialogue between Husserl and Heidegger, capable of overcoming old topics and misunderstandings.
