In this widely hailed and long out of print classic of twentieth
century philosophic commentary, Professor Farber explains the
origin, development, and function of phenomenology with a view
towards its significance for philosophy in general. The book offers
a general account of Husserl and the background of his philosophy.
The early chapters are devoted to his mathematical-philosophical
and psychological studies. The refutation of psychologism is
present in detail, together with the critical reaction to it. The
development of his logical theories in the light of contemporary
literature at the close of the 19th century is next considered. The
main content of the six "Logical Investigations" follows, which
contribute to the phenomenological elucidation of experience and
knowledge. The phenomenological philosophy of logic as developed in
Husserl's later writings is then introduced, followed by a
discussion of the phenomenological method and its proper function.
Farber makes clear his preference for phenomenology as a purely
descriptive method and his opposition to have it serve as a last
stronghold of metaphysics. Indispensable as groundwork for
descriptive philosophical study, this book will deeply interest not
only serious students of philosophy and psychology, but also those
who are concerned with the philosophical aspects of mathematics,
social and natural sciences, law and psychiatry.
