Abstract

One of the great contributions of Lester Embree has been his recognition that the works of great phenomenologists such as Edmund Husserl, Alfred Schutz, and Aron Gurwitsch aim at providing a Wissenschaftslehre, that is, a philosophical framework within which the various sciences (in Schutz's case, particularly the cultural sciences) and modes of knowing can be appropriately situated with regard to philosophy and each other.
