About this title: This book presents the major philosophical doctrines of phenomenology in a clear, lively style with an abundance of examples. The book examines such phenomena as perception, pictures, imagination, memory, language, and reference, and shows how human thinking arises from experience. It also studies personal identity as established through time and discusses the nature of philosophy. In addition to providing a new interpretation of the correspondence theory of truth, the author also explains how phenomenology differs from both modern and postmodern forms of thinking.

"I am a practising artist using the camera as a tool to capture photographs of objects. Both personal and random encounters.
I use this practice as a research study at university, where I'm in the continual process of trying to understand how the work operates and how the meaning of the image is expressed and experienced.
Robert Sokolowski's book is a brilliant introduction to phenomenology. It is written in a simple yet unique style that flows through the book. I wanted to state that I'm not a philosophy student, but continually find that this book relates to my work as an artist/researcher.
My advice would be to read the whole book as it is more of a journey, than something you can just pick up.
It is well worth the read and in my case as been and will be extremely useful to my work and to the way I think and feel about things in the future.
This is a clear introduction to phenomenology without the confusion of terms you may encounter within another book.
Sokolowski gets to the root of phenomenology which enables you later on if required to research the pioneers, but the crucial point is he first gives you the grounding that other books take for granted that you already know."
"If you are unfamiliar with this branch of philosophy, then this is a great book for anyone wanting to know the basics of Phenomenology. This is a very obscure and almost impenetrable branch of philosophy, especially if you don't have much background in philosophical studies. But Sokolowski does a great job of interpreting it through a more analytical grid. The most beneficial thing about the book is the keen insights that can be gleaned from the study of phenomenology for the burgeoning studies being done in the areas of biblical symbolism and typology. Phenomenology tends to view knowledge in more symbolic and poetic terms, than in the traditional Enlightenment/Rationalist terms of the last 500 years."
"I do not hesitate to say that phenomenology represents the basic philosophy behind all of modern science. Sokolowski's intro to phenomenology does a very good job of explaining a very difficult philosophy in easy terms that can be understood. My only criticism is that he does not discuss the relationship between phenomenology and existentialism, which adopted the phenomenological method but not the philosophy behind it. This book is a decent, short read."
