The Origins of Husserl's Totalizing Act At noon on Monday, October
24th, 1887, Dr. Edmund G. Husserl defended the dissertation that
would qualify him as a university lecturer at Halle. Entitled "On
the Concept of Number," it was written under Carl Stumpf who, like
Husserl, had been a student of Franz Brentano. In this, his first
published philosophical work, Husserl sought to secure the
foundations of mathematics by deriving its most fundamental
concepts from psychical acts. In the same year, Heinrich Hertz
published an article entitled, "Con cerning an Influence of
Ultraviolet Light on the Electrical Discharge." The article
detailed his discovery of a new "relation between two entirely
different forces," those of light and electricity. Hermann von
Helmholtz, whose theory guided Hertz's initial research, called it
the "most important physical discovery of the century," and Hertz
became an immediate sensation. He lectured on his discovery in 1889
before a general session of the German Association meeting in
Heidelberg. In this lecture that, as he wrote beforehand to Emil
Cohn, he was deter mined should not be "entirely unintelligible to
the laity," Hertz explained that light ether and electro-magnetic
forces were interdependent. He went on to tell his audience that
they need not expect their senses to grant them access to these
phenomena. Indeed, he said, the latter are not only insusceptible
of sense perception, but are false from the standpoint of the
senses."
