Critical Reception Of "Philosophy of Arithmetic"
Husserl releases his first published work, "Philosophy of Arithmetic," which is criticized for appearing to contain strong undertones supportive of psychologism. Husserl sharply refutes the claim, and goes on to develop the philosophical concept known as Phenomenology. Husserl & the Adventure of Phenomenology - In 12 Minutes - Eric Dodson -
"Logical Investigations"
Edmund Husserl publishes his premier work in the field of Phenomenology, "Logical Investigations," which attacks psychologism, and conducts an epistemological investigation into expression and meaning, universals, mereology, the “syntactical” and mereological structure of meaning, the nature and structure of intentionality, and the interrelation of truth, intuition, and cognition. This work serves to influence later significant philosophers such as Martin Heidegger and Emil Lask. -

Husserl releases his second great work: "Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and to a Phenomenological Philosophy."

"Crisis"
