In the introduction to Formal and Transcendental Logic (1929), Husserl defines a new methodological concept – or to put it more accurately, a family of concepts – related to the notion of Besinnung (sense-investigation). Besinnung is needed to reflect on phenomena within the teleological view of history that Husserl’s late assistant Eugen Fink called “intentional history.” According to this view, history comprises the accomplishments of individual people1 who work toward realizing certain goals.2 People mainly inherit their projects from their predecessors, but every now and then there are visionaries who redefine and reformulate these goals. Galileo is to Husserl a prime example of such a visionary. On Husserl’s construal Galileo redefined the goals of modern science with his vision of the mathematization of nature.
