The Justification of Logic and Mathematics in Husserl’s Phenomenology

  • Chapter
Phenomenology and the Formal Sciences

Part of the book series: Contributions to Phenomenology ((CTPH,volume 8))

Abstract

The problem of justifying our beliefs, giving evidence for them, is central in Husserl’s phenomenology. In his writings he comes back again and again to the notions of justification and evidence.

This article springs from a project on Husserl’s Phenomenology which is presently supported by the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. I gratefully acknowledge this support. I wish to thank Professor Morton G. White for helpful suggestions.
