New Stanford Encyclopaedia Entry on Early Phenomenology

An entry on the Phenomenology of the Munich and Göttingen Circles by Alessandro Salice just published on the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy 

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/phenomenology-mg/ 

Early phenomenologists make up a philosophical tradition that has been almost wholly overlooked by historians of 20th century philosophy. Partly building upon the ideas of Husserl and other philosophers, while nevertheless also developing their own ideas independently, they made contributions to as many fields as the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of psychology, the philosophy of speech acts, epistemology, social philosophy, the philosophy of values and ontology. 

Uncovering the full extent of these still rather neglected resources is an ongoing process that promises to impact different strands of philosophical debate and to substantially enrich the received picture of the phenomenological movement.
