What is it about?
This edited volume examines phenomenology in its early days. There is still a Husserlian influence, but phenomenology had not yet been engrained as Husserlian and Heideggerian. That is, there were multiple voices in the mix, all doing slightly different things.

Why is it important?
The essays here (a) give us access to a forgotten or under-examined period of phenomenology which (b) allows us to be able to understood phenomena in our world today better.
Perspectives
I found this book quite interesting. It interacts with figures I had not read before, or had not read as doing phenomenology. This added perspective helped me assess these figures differently, and also gave me more insight into problems that I otherwise would not have had.
