Marvin Farber
Definition
- In the history of recent philosophy, Marvin Frber represents a bold thinker who dared to change his intellectual interests in light of continuing advances in the special sciences. Although he was at first drawn to the rigorous study of phenomenology with its focus on pure consciousness, Frber later became very critical of its subjective orientation and limiting methodology; he stressed that there is a crucial distinction between a claim about existence (ontology) and a method of inquiry (episte-mology).
