Steven Crowell is Joseph and Joanna Nazro Mullen Professor of Humanities and Professor of Philosophy at Rice University, where he has taught since receiving his PhD in philosophy from Yale in 1981. Crowell’s research focuses on Continental philosophy since Kant, with an emphasis on the classical phenomenological tradition. He is the author of Husserl, Heidegger, and the Space of Meaning: Paths Toward Transcendental Phenomenology and Normativity and Phenomenology in Husserl and Heidegger. He is the editor of the Cambridge Companion to Existentialism and, with Jeff Malpas, Transcendental Heidegger. With Sonja Rinofner-Kreidl, Crowell coedits the journal Husserl Studies. His current research centers on “second-person phenomenology” (our experience of being the addressee of normative claims) and on the relation between meaning and metaphysics.
