Summary

In this chapter, I aim to explain in contemporary terms the view of logic that Husserl’s writings on mathematics commit him to. I will first clarify Husserl’s critical remarks about Kant. Husserl’s primary criticism is that Kant did not ask transcendental questions about formal logic, but rather ascribed to it an “extraordinary apriority.” He thinks that the reason for this is that Kant’s view of logic is directed toward the subjective, instead of being concerned with a “‘world’ of ideal Objects.” Husserl holds that if Kant had had a more comprehensive concept of logic, he would have thought to raise critical questions about how logic is possible.
