Derrida and Husserl: The Basic Problem of Phenomenology

Derrida and Husserl: The Basic Problem of Phenomenology is a 2002 book by Leonard Lawlor. It examines French philosopher Jacques Derrida's interpretation of German philosopher Edmund Husserl.

Structure
Derrida and Husserl contains four parts: Phenomenology and Ontology; The "Originary Dialectic" of Phenomenology and Ontology; The End of Phenomenology and Ontology; and The Turn in Derrida. This is followed by an afterword ("The Final Idea: Memory and Life").

Reception
Kas Saghafi referred to Derrida and Husserl as the "first detailed and comprehensive examination of all of Derrida's major writings on Husserl". He praised Lawlor as "meticulously unpacking and elucidating works that 40 or 50 years after their publication still prove forbiddingly difficult."
