This course on logic and theory of knowledge fell exactly midway
between the publication of the Logical Investigations in 1900-01
and Ideas I 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 descriptivo-psychological
elucidation of pure logic in the Logical Investigations to the
transcendental phenomenology of the absolute consciousness of the
objective correlates constituting themselves in its acts in Ideas
I. In this course Husserl began developing his transcendental
phenomenology as the genuine realization of what had only been
realized in fragmentary form in the Logical Investigations.
Husserl considered that in the courses that he gave at the
University of G?ttingen he had progressed well beyond the insights
of the Logical Investigations. 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.
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 intomatters that many philosophers have been
primed to appreciate out of enthusiasm for Frege's ideas. Among
these are: his 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.
