Presenting the first step-by-step commentary on Husserl's Ideas I, Marcus Brainard's Belief and Its Neutralization provides an introduction not only to this central work, but also to the whole of transcendental phenomenology. Brainard offers a clear and lively account of each key element in Ideas I, along with a novel reading of Husserl, one which may well cause scholars to reconsider many long-standing views on his thought, especially on the role of belief, the effect and scope of the epoché, and the significance of the universal neutrality modification.

For my parents

“. . . nihil esse perniciosius quam quicquid ibi est accipi ad litteram, id est ad verbum, nihil autum salubrius quam spiritu revelari.”

(“. . . nothing is more pernicious than that whatever is there be taken by the letter, that is, literally, but nothing is more salubri-ous than that it be revealed through the spirit.”)
