The week Coop and Taylor are joined by Matt Bower to discuss a few sections from Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s Husserl at the limits of Phenomenology as well as Husserl's The Origin of Geometry.

Matt is currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Texas State University. Matt completed his doctoral work at University of Memphis (2013) and earned by bachelors' degree, also in philosophy, from Beloit College (2007). His area of specialization is post-Kantian European philosophy, especially as it bears on topics in philosophy of mind and perception. He’s published several articles about Husserl's genetic phenomenology, some attempting to explain Husserl's method and theoretical ambitions in doing genetic phenomenology and others examining its relation to developmental psychology and as a way to understand the embededness of intersubjectivity in perceptual experience. He’s also published articles exploring the phenomenology of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas.
