Donahoe provides glimpse of Husserl in book
April 10, 2004
CARROLLTON, GA - Dr. Janet A. Donohoe, associate professor of philosophy at the University of West Georgia, has recently written her first book titled Husserl On Ethics and Intersubjectivity: From Static to Genetic Phenomenology.
The book provides a glimpse at the importance of the phenomenologist Husserl’s methodological shift from a static to genetic approach on the analysis of consciousness. Donohoe explains how Husserl progressed in his thinking of a general structure of consciousness as an abstract unity, to an investigation into the origins of the subject as a unique individual interacting with and growing within the surrounding environment.
Prior to receiving a Ph.D. from Boston College in 1998, Donohoe taught in a graduate fellowship position at that institution. She began teaching at UWG in 1998 and specializes in 20th Century Continental Philosophy, Phenomenology, Existentialism, Husserl, Philosophy and Geography.
Donohoe’s work has been featured in publications such as The Southern Journal of Philosophy and Philosophy Today, and she has authored 14 conference papers. She is currently working on a book project titled Collective Memory, Tradition, and Place.
Humanity Books, an imprint of Prometheus Books, publishes this 2004 book due out in July. For more information about this book, contact Donohoe at 770-838-3012.
