Any writer would be appreciative of an attentive reader, above all of one whose criticisms transcend listing typos and mundane inaccuracies, aiming instead at a critique of the merits of the argument itself. But one appreciates a reader even more when the inevitable criticism (this is philosophy, after all) hits on a set of problems or concerns that the author in fact shares, even if they had not been the focus in the work itself. In this vein I very much appreciate Professor Liberman’s perceptive comments on my attempt to understand better the argument of Husserl’s Crisis of the European Sciences, and I welcome the opportunity to share a few of my own thoughts on the matters that he raises.
