15Eriugena (review)Review of Metaphysics 44 (1): 156-157. 1990.This is an informative book dealing with a little known philosopher, Johannes Scottus Eriugena. In his first chapter O'Meara gives a succinct yet scholarly account of the historical context of Eriugena's writings--ninth-century Ireland and France. In particular O'Meara stresses that in that century there is abundant evidence that the Irish knew Greek and certainly the groundwork of Eriugena's later knowledge of Greek, evidenced in his translation of Pseudo-Dionysius, could have been laid in the …Read more

Both are looking for ‘conditions of possibility,’ forms of ‘institution’ or instauration, and patterns of transformation, for scientific knowledge. Husserl identifies the ‘a priori of history…Read more

164Immanence, Self-Experience, and Transcendence in Edmund Husserl, Edith Stein, and Karl JaspersAmerican Catholic Philosophical Quarterly 82 (2): 265-291. 2008.Phenomenology, understood as a philosophy of immanence, has had an ambiguous, uneasy relationship with transcendence, with the wholly other, with the numinous. If phenomenology restricts its evidence to givenness and to what has phenomenality, what becomes of that which is withheld or cannot in principle come to givenness? In this paper I examine attempts to acknowledge the transcendent in the writings of two phenomenologists, Edmund Husserl and Edith Stein (who attempted to fuse phenomenology w…Read more
