Abstract
There are two parts to this essay. The first part, §§1–3, traces the genesis of my translation of Ideen I. The second part, §§4–5, sketches the gist of what the author learned from the study of Ideen I, including the realization that Husserl’s “phenomenological ‘idealism’” does not exclude a “phenomenological realism.”
