Beschreibungen

Claire Ortiz Hill The publication of all but a small, unfound, part of the complete text of the lecture course on logic and theory of knowledge that Edmund Husserl gave at Göttingen during the winter semester of 1906/07 became a reality in 1984 with the publication of Einleitung in die Logik und Erkenntnistheorie, Vorlesungen 1906/07 edited by 1 Ullrich Melle. Published in that volume were also 27 appendices containing material selected to complement the content of the main text in significant ways. They provide valuable insight into the evolution of Husserl’s thought between the Logical Investigations and Ideas I and, therefore, into the origins of phenomenology. That text and all those appendices but one are translated and published in the present volume. Omitted are only the “Personal Notes” dated September 25, 1906, November 4, 1907, and March 6, 1908, which were translated by Dallas Willard and published in his translation of Husserl’s Early 2 Writings in the Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics. Introduction to Logic and Theory of Knowledge, Lectures 1906/07 provides valuable insight into the development of the ideas fun- mental to phenomenology. Besides shedding considerable light on the genesis of phenomenology, it sheds needed light on many other dimensions of Husserl’s thought that have puzzled and challenged scholars.<br>
The Idea of Pure Logic as a Formal Theory of Science.- The Characterization of What is Logical Taking the Exact Sciences as Point Of Departure.- Pure Logic as Theoretical Science.- Formal and Real Logic.- Noetics, Theory of Knowledge, and Phenomenology.- Noetics as Theory of Justification of Knowledge.- Theory of Knowledge as First Philosophy.- Phenomenology as Science of Pure Consciousness.- The Forms of Objectification.- The Lower Forms of Objectification.- The Higher Forms of Objectification.
<p>This course on logic and theory of knowledge fell exactly midway between the publication of the <em>Logical Investigations</em> in 1900-01 and <em>Ideas I</em> in 1913. It constitutes a summation and consolidation of Husserl’s logico-scientific, epistemological, and epistemo-phenomenological investigations of the preceding years and an important step in the journey from the&nbsp;descriptivo-psychological elucidation of pure logic in the <em>Logical Investigations</em> to the transcendental phenomenology of the absolute consciousness of the objective correlates constituting themselves in its acts in<em> Ideas I</em>. In this course Husserl began developing his transcendental phenomenology as the genuine realization of what had only been realized in fragmentary form in the <em>Logical Investigations</em>.</p>
<p>Husserl considered that in the courses that he gave at the University of Göttingen he had progressed well beyond the insights of the <em>Logical Investigations</em>. Once he exposed the objective theoretical scaffolding needed to keep philosophers from falling into the quagmires of psychologism and skepticism, he set out on his voyage of discovery of the world of the intentional consciousness and to introduce the phenomenological analyses of knowledge that were to yield the general concepts of knowledge needed to solve the most recalcitrant problems of theory of knowledge understood as the investigation of the thorny problems involving the relationship of the subjectivity of the knower to the objectivity of what is known.</p>
<p>This translation appears at a time when philosophers in English-speaking countries have heartily embraced the thoughts of Husserl’s German contemporary Gottlob Frege and his concerns. It is replete with insights into matters that many philosophers have been primed to appreciate out of enthusiasm for Frege’s ideas. Among these are:&nbsp;anti-psychologism, meaning, the foundations of mathematics, logic, science, and knowledge, his questions about sets and classes, intensions, identity, calculating with concepts, perspicuity, and even his idealism. </p>
Husserl is one of the most seminal thinkers of the 20th century and his full contribution to philosophy, in this case philosophy of logic and mathematics, has yet to be realized His ideas are presented here in an incomparably clearer, livelier, more easily readable and assimilable manner than in other works translated into English. Can serve as an introduction to his thought and to his phenomenology in particular. This concerns ideas of great interest to the followers of the Analytic school It fills a big gap in the understanding of the development of Husserl’s ideas.
