Book Description
The first detailed study in any language of the important relationship between two seminal modern philosophers, Husserl and Frege also offers a systematic philosophical criticism of the two men's theories of meaning, reference, logic, and knowledge.
Edmund Husserl is the founder of the phenomenological movement, while Gottlob Frege is generally recognized as having inspired analytic philosophy. Although they never met, the two men exchanged letters and scientific papers. The present study seeks to correct many conventionally held beliefs about their relationship and shows how, in spite of their common concerns and many commonly shared views, they came to tread different paths.
To Mohanty, the question of the relation between Husserl and Frege is more than a matter of who influenced whom. "In the first place," he states, "it is important to keep in mind that Husserl and Frege belonged to nearly the same philosophical world, in which a sort of neo-Kantian philosophy prevailed (which Husserl under Brentano's influence tried to overcome but never quite succeeded, but with which Frege all along had great sympathies), in which Hermann Lotze was the towering figure, in which what was labeled as 'psychologism' was the dominant philosophy of logic, and in which philosophers were concerned with such concepts as mental acts, Inhalt or content of these acts, and made liberal use of the concept of Vorstellung or presentation. Within this world, neither Frege nor Husserl offered the first critique of psychologism. Both took it up work anew. Both asserted the independence of logic from psychology-- Frege first, Husserl subsequently. But Husserl... again and again returned to the theme of psychologism, and continued to wonder if... its roots had been adequately laid bare in [his] early work.... Thus, their overall philosophical concerns had many things in common. What divided them was not their answers to their common problems, but Frege's interest in Begriffschrift, and Husserl's interest in the constituting role of the intentional life of consciousness."
Husserl and Frege greatly facilitates understanding between adherents of the phenomenological and analytic traditions. Mohanty suggests that the philosophical insights derived from both traditions can be integrated to yield a rich theory of meaning. Correspondence between Frege and Husserl is included in an appendix. This brief, cogent study will be important and useful to those interested in the philosophies of logic, language, and mind, and in twentieth-century philosophy in general.
