The Philosophy of Edmund Husserl, was accepted at Harvard in June 1933. Then Cairns taught part time at several universities in New York City before securing a permanent position at Rockford College for Girls. After the war and recuperation from tuberculosis, he taught at Rockford for several years; he was next a visiting professor in the Department of Philosophy of the Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science of the New School for Social Research in 1954–60, and thereafter a tenured professor. He initially began a course on intentionality that was extended due to student demand for six and a half semesters. It was subsequently divided into two semesters on intentionality and then one-semester courses on theory of knowledge, phenomenology of thinking, value theory, and ethics. His colleagues were first Alfred Schutz and then Aron Gurwitsch in what was the first center for phenomenology in the United States.¹" /> Dorion Cairns - Embree Lester | sdvig press
