The book presents a unique synthesis of the philosophies of Aquinas, Sankara, and Husserl, offering a fresh interpretation of Husserl's work. It explores the concept of asymmetrical real relations derived from Aristotle and Aquinas, integrating it into Husserl's transcendental phenomenology. This approach, termed convergent phenomenology, suggests that pure object consciousness in Husserl's framework ultimately leads to an understanding of pure subject consciousness of God. The author aims to engage scholars and phenomenologists with this innovative perspective on Husserlian thought.

Exploring the innovative concept of "convergent phenomenology," the book delves into the relational unity of being through the frameworks of Father Kevin Wall and Edith Stein. It distinguishes itself from traditional phenomenology by focusing on relation-like objectivity, offering profound insights into the nature of God and existence. This new discipline has significant implications for theology, logic, and phenomenology, illuminating the interconnections of transcendental logic and formal ontology, ultimately enriching our understanding of divinity and humanity.
