Notes on Husserl and Kant

Abstract

In Kant awareness that speaking-thinking cannot be reduced to acting-experiencing assumes the form of the question: How is mathematics possible? Accompanied by a rigorous critique of traditional metaphysics, the answer to this question gives rise not only to a new way of philosophizing, but begins to delineate the boundaries of a new science in the true sense of the term. Kant, indeed, applied first the name of idealism and later that of transcendental criticism to the ordered system of knowledge he founded and developed through a method he sought to render explicit and utilizable by others.
