This book presents the remarkable correspondence between Alfred Schutzand Aron Gurwitsch, emigre philosophers influenced by Edmund Husserl, who fledEurope on the eve of World War II and ultimately became seminal figures in theestablishment of phenomenology in the United States.

Interwoven with philosophicalexchange is the two scholars' encounter with the unfamiliar problems of Americanacademic life -- what Gurwitsch called the "passology" of exile. Apart from itsbrilliant and moving portrait of two distinguished men, the correspondence holdsrich significance for current issues in philosophy and the socialsciences.
