Springer - The Question of Being in Husserl's Logical Investigations

Explore a rigorous philosophical analysis of Edmund Husserl's foundational work in this volume from the Phaenomenologica series. This study examines the Logische Untersuchungen through a double thesis approach to understand its impact on phenomenology. The text investigates the nature of being within the Logische Untersuchungen, proposing that certain inconsistencies regarding its ontological statements contribute to the work's limitations. By analyzing these contradictions, the book provides a clear perspective on the internal logic of Husserl's early arguments. Furthermore, the study explores the relationship between the Logische Untersuchungen and the Ideen. It suggests that the Ideen serves as a response to the ontological challenges found in the earlier work. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the shift in ontology that occurred as Husserl attempted to resolve contradictory assertions. This is an essential resource for students and scholars focused on the history and development of Western philosophical schools of thought.
