Ideas toward a Phenomenology of Interruptions

This book analyzes the problem of the relations between time, sleep, and the body in Husserl’s phenomenology. Itreconfigures the unity of the life of subjectivity in light of the phenomenon of dreamless sleep, establishes the concept of a fractured subject, and develops a phenomenology of interruptions.
