Abstract

In his attempt to develop fully the foundations of arithmetic, Husserl was led to see that the problems raised in this study could be resolved only in a much wider philosophical context. He interrupted his mathematical inquiries "until I might succeed in arriving at certain clarity in the basic questions of epistemology and in the critical understanding of logic as a science." ¹ The result of his new interests was the Logical In­vestigations
