Uncovering the Origins of Cognition and Meaning: The Impact of Husserl's Philosophy
"The Philosophy of Husserl" by Burt Hopkins explores the ideas of philosopher Edmund Husserl, who founded phenomenology. The goal is to show how Husserl's work investigates the origins of cognition, being, and meaning. The article challenges the idea that Husserl's later focus on history contradicts his earlier scientific approach. It also examines how Husserl's ideas evolved from studying mathematical concepts to exploring intersubjectivity. The research reveals that Husserl's philosophy is not limited by historical influences, as suggested by Heidegger and Derrida. Overall, the article provides a comprehensive look at Husserl's philosophical development and will be valuable for students studying phenomenology.
