Phenomenological Method
After becoming a teacher at the University of Halle, Husserl became stuck, not knowing how to mix psychological analysis with mathematics. From this issue stemmed a study by British empiricists, making a psychologic grounding of logic. This led to his revolutionary work in his book "logical Investigations" using phenomenological method for the first time, not even having classification at the time.
