During Those Years, Dorion Cairns, Alfred Schutz, And Aron Gurwitsch--all Former Students Of Edmund Husserl--came Together In The Department Of Philosophy To Establish The First Locus Of Phenomenology Scholarship In The Country. This Founding Trio Was Soon Joined By Three Other Prominent Scholars In The Field: Werner Marx, Thomas M. Seebohm, And J. N. Mohanty. The Husserlian Phenomenology That They Brought To The New School Has Subsequently Spread Through The Anglophone World As The Tradition Of Continental Philosophy.
