'In this amirably clear and well-written commentary Smith takes us through the work Meditation by Meditation.' - Paul Gorner, Philosophical Books
'Smith has done a sterling job. Husserl's terms are defined, his ideas clarified and discussed, and since the Guidebook closely follows the structure of the Cartesian Meditations, it really does guide the reader through the text...essential reading for anyone studying Husserl's text.'
