Abstract
Some commentaries have claimed Peirce and Husserl to have common interests in their interpretations of intentionality; others have denied the connection. In this paper, I argue that although the two philosophers had different motives from which the problem of intentionality arises, they shared common concerns of intentionality as the first state of consciousness and as the first step to be taken in deliberate interpretations of mind. Last, I will illuminate Husserl’s and Peirce’s common contribution to the revolution of philosophy in contemporary times.
