    Key Terms

    Constituted by(describing what conditions would make something true)

    Husserl
    Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) was a German philosopher who founded a way of thinking called "phenomenology," which focuses on carefully examining how we experience and perceive the world around us. Rather than assuming things are simply as they appear, Husserl developed methods to deeply explore human consciousness and the structures of our experiences. His work became foundational to modern philosophy and influenced many thinkers who came after him.
    Logical Investigations(as the specific work containing his critique)
    One of Husserl's major works published in 1900 that examines how logic and meaning work, and how we can have valid knowledge.
