It is a realist account of numbers and number relations  that interweaves them into the basic structure of the universe and  into our knowledge of reality. It provides an answer to the question  of how arithmetic applies to reality, and gives an account of how, in  general, formalized systems of symbols work in providing access to the  world. The \"appendices\" to this book provide some of Husserl's  subsequent discussions of how formalisms work, involving David  Hilbert's program of completeness for arithmetic. \"Completeness\" is  integrated into Husserl's own problematic of the \"imaginary\", and  allows him to move beyond the analysis of \"representations\" in his  understanding of the logic of mathematics. \u003cbr\u003e  Husserl's work here provides an alternative model of what \"conceptual  analysis\" should be - minus the \"linguistic turn\", but  inclusive of language and linguistic meaning. In the process, he  provides case after case of \"Phenomenological Analysis\" -  fortunately unencumbered by that title - of the convincing type  that made Husserl's life and thought a fountainhead of much of the  most important philosophical work of the twentieth Century in Europe.  Many Husserlian themes to be developed at length in later writings  first emerge here: Abstraction, internal time consciousness,  polythetic acts, acts of higher order ('founded' acts), \u003cem\u003eGestalt\u003c\/em\u003e  qualities and their role in knowledge, formalization (as opposed to  generalization), essence analysis, and so forth. \u003cbr\u003e  This volume is a window on a period of rich and illuminating  philosophical activity that has been rendered generally inaccessible  by the supposed \"revolution\" attributed to \"Analytic Philosophy\"  so-called. Careful exposition and critique is given to every serious  alternative account of number and number relations available at the  time. Husserl's extensive and trenchant criticisms of Gottlob Frege's  theory of number and arithmetic reach far beyond those most commonly  referred to in the literature on their views.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402015465\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0060-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 515\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481660420236,"sku":"9781402015465","price":404.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402015465.jpg?v=1775711255","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402015465","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
