Abstract

Edmund Husserl (1859–1938) was one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, and is known as the founder of phenomenology. Husserl was famously led into philosophy by Franz Brentano (1838–1917), who reintroduced the medieval notion of “intentionality” into his contemporary philosophical reflections; Husserl later autonomously developed the concept in his Logical Investigations, the work that marks the inception of phenomenology.
