ABSTRACT
In the prior chapter we explored Husserl’s conception of logic. In his account of “pure logic,” we found an articulate view of semantics, proposing a style of correlation between categories of meaning (or corresponding categories of linguistic expression) and categories of objects. This correlation flowered in Husserl’s conception of intentionality, the structure wherein experience is directed toward objects in the world via meanings that represent such objects. Husserl increasingly addressed issues of ontology, as he moved from logic toward phenomenology, and into epistemology. In the present chapter we study the details of Husserl’s ontology.
