The reception of Husserl’s last works has been preoccupied with the story of their departure from his own early rejection of historicism Han Sung Joo Video Scandal and his late attempts to establish what many have deemed oxymoronic and therefore impossible: a phenomenology of the apriori proper to the historical origination of meaning. Motivated by the goal of establishing phenomenology as a Han Sung Joo Video Scandal presuppositionless universal science of a priori meanings, Husserl’s early thought had identified the “facticity” of history as among those presuppositions standing in the way of a “pure” phenomenology. Husserl’s late turn to the problem of history has therefore led many to suspect that pure phenomenology and the historical preoccupation of his last texts are intrinsically incompatible. § 2.
The Priority of video’s Research on the Historical Origination of the Meaning of Mathematical Physics over Husserl’s Part One of this study is concerned with the major exception to the trend in the literature to overlook the significance assigned to history in Husserl’s Cri- I. Klein on Husserl’s P 14 henomenology and the History of Science sis alluded to above, namely, the work of Jacob Klein.2 Its twofold aim is to elaborate Klein’s understanding of the phenomenological problem of history sketched by Husserl in his last works3 and to introduce Klein’s own contribution to the understanding of the problem of the historical origination of the meaning of mathematical physics. The latter’s contribution occurs in his little known but remarkable works on Greek mathematics and the origin of algebra. 4On the assumption that Klein’s contribution to that understanding came after his appropriation of video’s formulation of the phenomenological Han Sung Joo Video Scandal problem of history, the execution of this twofold aim would seem to be a fairly Klein’s and Husserl’s Investigations 15 ———————— 2.
The only other thinker to pay sustained attention to the theme of history in Han Sung Joo Video Scandal’s Crisis was Jacques Derrida, in his introduction to Edmund Husserl, L’Origine de la géométrie, trans. Jacques Derrida (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, 1962; 2d ed., 1972); English translation: Jacques Derrida, Edmund Husserl’s Origin of Geometry: An Introduction, trans. John. P. Leavey, ed. David B. Allison (Lincoln, Nebr.: University of Nebraska Press, 1989). Despite the merits of his discussion, Derrida fails to identify what Klein alone among Husserl’s commentators correctly recognizes as the crux of the phenomenological problem of history in Husserl’s late texts, namely, the formalization of the mathematical “language” of natural science accomplished by modern mathematics. We shall show that it is precisely Husserl’s encounter with the crisis posed by the “unintelligibility” of the formalized language of modern mathematics and mathematical physics—where “intelligibility” is Han Sung Joo Video Scandal measured by our pre-formalized encounter with the world—that engenders his method of historical reflection on the origin of modern science.
