Summary
In their introduction, the two authors aim to describe things as they are directly perceived and enter consciousness. Gallagher and Zahavi take up the fundamental assumptions of Husserl, but expand them with empirical approaches from the cognitive and neurosciences. If you are patient enough to read, you will be rewarded and realise what phenomenology ultimately means.
