Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics in the Early Husserl focuses
on the first ten years of Edmund Husserl's work, from the
publication of his Philosophy of Arithmetic (1891) to that of his
Logical Investigations (1900/01), and aims to precisely locate his
early work in the fields of logic, philosophy of logic and
philosophy of mathematics. Unlike most phenomenologists, the author
refrains from reading Husserl's early work as a more or less
immature sketch of claims consolidated only in his later
phenomenology, and unlike the majority of historians of logic she
emphasizes the systematic strength and the originality of Husserl's
logico-mathematical work.
The book attempts to reconstruct the discussion between Husserl
and those philosophers and mathematicians who contributed to new
developments in logic, such as Leibniz, Bolzano, the logical
algebraists (especially Boole and Schroder), Frege, and Hilbert and
his school. It presents both a comprehensive critical examination
of some of the major works produced by Husserl and his antagonists
in the last decade of the 19th century and a formal reconstruction
of many texts from Husserl's Nachlass that have not yet been the
object of systematical scrutiny.
This volume will be of particular interest to researchers
working in the history, and in the philosophy, of logic and
mathematics, and more generally, to analytical philosophers and
phenomenologists with a background in standard logic."
