Contents:
pt. 1. Klein on Husserl's phenomenology and the history of science -- pt. 2. Husserl and Klein on the method and task of desedimenting the mathematization of nature -- pt. 3. Non-symbolic and symbolic numbers in Husserl and Klein -- pt. 4. Husserl and Klein on the origination of the logic of symbolic mathematics.
Summary: Burt C. Hopkins presents the first in-depth study of the work of Edmund Husserl and Jacob Klein on the philosophical foundations of the logic of modern symbolic mathematics. Accounts of the philosophical origins of formalized concepts-especially mathematical concepts and the process of mathematical abstraction that generates them-have been paramount to the development of phenomenology. Both Husserl and Klein independently concluded that it is impossible to separate the historical origin of the thought that generates the basic concepts of mathematics from their philosophical meanings. Hopkin.
