ABSTRACT
Collecting objects into a set is a way to provide a syntactic form to the plurality of these objects, a form that moreover does not depend on the nature of these objects or their relations. In Experience and Judgment, Husserl discusses the constitution of sets at some length. Husserl's account there leaves a wide gap, and moreover may be considered a lapse into psychologism. The first two accounts were proposed by Husserl in the sixth Logical Investigation. In the sixth Logical Investigation, then, Husserl does not manage to offer an account of categorial intuition that avoids its collapse to sensuous intuition. The present account of the constitution of sets may be generalized to all categorial acts that provide a syntactical form to a plurality of objects that does not depend on the nature of these objects or their relations. In contrast, the constitution of categorial form does consist in active formation by the ego.
