Abstract

In Logical Investigations, published by Husserl in 1900/1901, the phenomenology is understood as a peculiar form of descriptive psychology, elaborated to serve as a foundation for the theory of knowledge. The peculiarity of this descriptive psychology is that it would be able to achieve a priori knowledge on the psyche. In this article, we try to show, in contrast to the classical empiricism of the 16th and 17th century and the Kant’s transcendental idealism, the peculiarity of the psychological method in Logical Investigations, as well as the reasons by which this method was founded as the basis for the theory of knowledge.
