Phenomenology and Mathematics

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of phenomenology and mathematics, the book delves into the mathematical ideas of Edmund Husserl and other influential figures like Weyl and Gödel. It outlines Husserl's early mathematical studies and core phenomenological concepts such as intention and intuition, illustrating their impact on mathematical thought. The text explores phenomenological interpretations of natural numbers, geometry, and formal systems, while also positioning this approach against various philosophical schools in mathematics, including logicism and Platonism.
