In Phenomenology and the Problem of History, David Carr examines the paradox involving Husserl's transcendental philosophy and his later historicist theory. Rejecting the arguments of earlier critics that compromise aspects of Husserl's writing, Carr proposes a model of the transcendental philosopher who balances necessary historical reduction with a strict mind to historical context.
"For description and defense of the narrative configurations of everyday life, and of the practical and social character of those narratives, there is no better treatment than Time, Narrative, and History. . . . a clear, judicious, and truthful account, provocative from beginning to end." -Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology
" . . . a superior work of philosophy that tells a unique and insightful story about narrative." -Quarterly Journal of Speech
