The stated subject of these lecture courses given by Husserlbetween
1910 and 1918is ‘reason, the word for the mental activities and
accomplishments that govern knowledge, give it form and supply it with
norms.’ They show their author still pursuing the course set out in
the Logical Investigations up to the end of the second decade of the
century and displaying utter consistency with stands that he began
taking on meaning, analyticity, Platonism, manifolds, mathematics,
psychologism, etc. in the 1890s. Thus, they undermine many idées
reçues about the development of his thought. The centerpiece of this
work is an exploration of the realm of meaning. Moreover, they add new
dimensions to standard discussions by taking readers back to the place
where phenomenology and analytic philosophy diverged. They show that
Husserl tangled long and hard with the very ideas that went into the
making of the latter and offer a wealth of interesting insights into
sense and meaning, theory of judgment, complete and incomplete
meanings, states of affairs, extensional logic, the relationship
between logic and mathematics, functions and arguments, propositional
functions, quantification, existential generalization, the word
‘all,’ number theory, sets, modality, deductive theory, ideas that
are still under discussion today. Prepared for oral delivery in the
classroom, they are refreshingly lively and spontaneous. They are
clearer, more explicit, and readable than the books Husserl published
during his lifetime.
