Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book offers a phenomenological conception of experiential justification that seeks to clarify why certain experiences are a source of immediate justification and what role experiences play in gaining (scientific) knowledge. Based on the author's account of experiential justification, this book exemplifies how a phenomenological experience-first epistemology can epistemically ground the individual sciences. More precisely, it delivers a comprehensive picture of how we get from epistemology to the foundations of mathematics and physics. The book is unique as it utilizes methods and insights from the phenomenological tradition in order to make progress in current analytic epistemology. It serves as a starting point for re-evaluating the relevance ofHusserlian phenomenology to current analytic epistemology and making an important step towards paving the way for future mutually beneficial discussions. This isachieved by exemplifying how current debates can benefit from ideas, insights, and methods we find in the phenomenological tradition.
