Abstract

244 Being-in-the-World-with-Others Aron Gurwitsch Human Encounters in the Social World, ed. Alexandre Metraux, translated by Fred Kersten. Pittsburgh: Duquesne University Press, 1979. Human Encounters in the Social World is a translation of Aron Gurwitsch's habilitation essay written in 1931. The text contains an editorial preface by Alexandre Metraux which offers an excellent basis for understanding the development of Gurwitsch's thoughts as well as original insights into problems in contemporary philosophy and sociology. The translation is by Fred Kersten. Gurwitsch's work begins with a thorough treatment of the problem of the knowledge about fellow human beings as it has been traditionally formulated.
