Numbers in Presence and Absence

Exploring the evolution of Husserl's philosophy of arithmetic, the book delves into historical influences, particularly Weierstrass and the arithmetization of analysis. It outlines three stages of Husserl's analysis, addressing the problem of psychologism in his early writings. The text examines the definition, origin, and conceptualization of number, alongside its presence and identity in both physical and abstract forms. Additionally, it discusses the formal aspects of arithmetic and the algebraization of analysis, culminating in an exploration of Husserl's justification of his analytical framework.
