Overview

The subject of this study is Husserl's theory of meaning as it appears in his writings from the Logical Investigations to the Crisis of the European Sciences . It begins with a discussion of Husserl's critique of psychologism, and the theory of meaning that stems from it, and then continues with the transcendental (noematic) theory of meaning found in The Idea of Phenomenology , Ideas I and Cartesian Meditations . It continues with an interpretation of Husserl's theory of time consciousness in the context of the tradition in modern philosophy to which it belongs, represented in particular by Brentano, James and Bergson, and of its consequences for Husserl's understanding of meaning. Throughout the study, but especially in the digression on consciousness and speech and in the Afterword, the tension in Husserl's thought between two interpretative strategies, the Cartesian and the Hermeneutical , is brought to the fore. The book can be read by a non-specialist reader as a general introduction to Husserl's conceptual world.
