Yet already Husserl had felt the desire to pursue philosophy.

During this period Husserl had delivered lectures on internal time consciousness, which several decades later his former student Heidegger edited for publication.

The apolitical Husserl before had specifically avoided such historical discussions, pointedly preferring to go directly to an investigation of consciousness.

Merleau-Ponty and others question whether Husserl here does not undercut his own position, in that Husserl had attacked in principle historicism, while specifically designing his phenomenology to be rigorous enough to transcend the limits of history.

Since his university retirement Husserl had " worked at a tremendous pace, producing several major works.

Apparently Husserl and Heidegger had moved apart during the 1920s, which became clearer after 1928 when Husserl retired and Heidegger succeeded to his University chair.

In the summer of 1929 Husserl had studied carefully selected writings of Heidegger, coming to the conclusion that on several of their key positions they differed, e. g., Heidegger substituted Dasein for the pure ego, thus transforming phenomenology into an anthropology, a specie of psychologism strongly disfavored by Husserl.

Husserl, of course, had died several years earlier.

Some scholars question whether Frege's negative review of the Philosophy of Arithmetic helped turn Husserl towards Platonism, but he had already discovered the work of Bernhard Bolzano independently around 1890 / 91 and explicitly mentioned Bernard Bolzano, Gottfried Leibniz and Hermann Lotze as inspirations for his newer position.

Husserl stated that by the time he published that book, he had already changed his mind — that he had doubts about psychologism from the very outset.

In his Logical Investigations, Husserl mentions Frege only twice, once in a footnote to point out that he had retracted three pages of his criticism of Frege's The Foundations of Arithmetic, and again to question Frege's use of the word Bedeutung to designate " reference " rather than " meaning " ( sense ).

Wilfrid Sellars, an influential figure in the so-called " Pittsburgh school " ( Robert Brandom, John McDowell ) had been a student of Marvin Farber, a pupil of Husserl, and was influenced by phenomenology through him:

Maurice Merleau-Ponty () ( 14 March 1908 – 3 May 1961 ) was a French phenomenological philosopher, strongly influenced by Karl Marx, Edmund Husserl, and Martin Heidegger in addition to being closely associated with Jean-Paul Sartre ( who later stated he had been " converted " to Marxism by Merleau-Ponty ) and Simone de Beauvoir.

Yet Adorno's attempts to break out of the sociology of music were, at this time, twice thwarted: neither the study of Mannheim he had been working on for years nor extracts from his study of Husserl were accepted by the Zeitschrift.

There is disagreement over the degree of influence that Husserl had on Heidegger's philosophical development, just as there is disagreement about the degree to which Heidegger's philosophy is grounded in phenomenology.

" Nevertheless, Gadamer noted that Heidegger was no patient collaborator with Husserl, and that Heidegger's " rash ascent to the top, the incomparable fascination he aroused, and his stormy temperament surely must have made Husserl, the patient one, as suspicious of Heidegger as he always had been of Max Scheler's volcanic fire.

The Reich law required the firing of Jewish professors from German universities, including those, such as Husserl, who had converted to Christianity.

Heidegger had by then broken off contact with Husserl, other than through intermediaries.

Heidegger later claimed that his relationship with Husserl had already become strained after Husserl publicly " settled accounts " with Heidegger and Max Scheler in the early 1930s.

Husserl himself taught philosophy as a Privatdozent at Halle from 1887, then as professor, first at Göttingen from 1901, then at Freiburg from 1916 until he retired in 1928.

On March 8, 1916, on the battlefield of Verdun, Wolfgang Husserl was killed in action.

Heidegger completed his doctoral thesis on psychologism in 1914 influenced by Neo-Thomism and Neo-Kantianism, and in 1916 finished his venia legendi with a thesis on Duns Scotus influenced by Heinrich Rickert and Edmund Husserl.

In 1916 Stein received a doctorate of philosophy from the University of Göttingen with a dissertation under Edmund Husserl, Zum Problem der Einfühlung ( On the Problem of Empathy ).

In the previous year she had worked with Martin Heidegger in editing Husserl's papers for publication, Heidegger being appointed similarly as a teaching assistant to Husserl at Freiburg in October 1916.

Leading Jewish intellectuals on university faculties included physicist Albert Einstein ; sociologists Karl Mannheim, Erich Fromm, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse ; philosophers Ernst Cassirer and Edmund Husserl ; political theorists Arthur Rosenberg and Gustav Meyer ; and many others.

After World War I the philosophers Edmund Husserl and ( since 1928 ) Martin Heidegger taught at Albert Ludwigs University, as well as Edith Stein.

At the University of Leipzig from 1876 to 1878, Husserl studied mathematics, physics, and astronomy.

Following academic advice, two years later in 1886 Husserl followed Carl Stumpf, a former student of Brentano, to the University of Halle, seeking to obtain his Habilitation which would qualify him to teach at the university level.

In 1901 Husserl with his family moved to the Georg-August University of Göttingen where he taught as extraordinarius professor.

Husserl gave four lectures on Phenomenological method at University College, London, in 1922.

On April 6 Husserl was suspended from the University of Freiburg by the Badische Ministry of Culture ; the following week he was disallowed any university activities.

David Carr of Yale University commented in 1970 on Husserl's following: " It is well known that Husserl was always disappointed at the tendency of his students to go their own way, to embark upon fundamental revisions of phenomenology rather than engage in the communal task " as originally intended by the radical new science.

After the war, he served as a salaried senior assistant to Edmund Husserl at the University of Freiburg in the Black Forest from 1919 until 1923.

Beginning in 1917, German-Jewish philosopher Edmund Husserl championed Heidegger's work, and helped him secure the retiring Husserl's chair in Philosophy at the University of Freiburg.

But because she was a woman Husserl did not support her submission to the University of Freiburg of her habilitational thesis ( a prerequisite for an academic chair ) and her other thesis (" Psychische Kausalität " Causality at the University of Göttingen in 1919 ) was likewise rejected.

The same paradox had been discovered a year before by Ernst Zermelo but he did not publish the idea, which remained known only to Hilbert, Husserl and other members of the University of Göttingen.

* Robert Magliola, Phenomenology and Literature ( Purdue University Press, 1977 ; 1978 ) systematically describes, in Part One, the influence of Husserl, Heidegger, and the French Existentialists on the Geneva School and other forms of what becomes known as " phenomenological literary criticism "; and in Part Two describes phenomenological literary theory in Roman Ingarden and Mikel Dufrenne.

The publication brought him to the attention of Husserl, whom he ' frequently thereafter visited '; but ' although he corresponded with Husserl until the latter's death 1938, he was unable for personal reasons to accept the offer to become his assistant ' at Freiburg University.
