Synopses & Reviews
Hill and Rosado Haddock break new ground in examining Husserls ideas in relation to those of Georg Cantor, creator of set theory, analytic philosopher Gottlob Frege, and mathematician David Hilbert. The authors both explore and extend Husserls thought, addressing the issues which led to the development of analytic philosophy early in the twentieth century. This collection of essays offers a fresh and provocative alternative to contemporary mainstream philosophy of mathematics and covers key areas of disagreements between Husserl, the father of phenomenology, and Frege, the founder of analytic philosophy.
