This review is from: Formal and Transcendental Logic (Paperback)

I've been reading and studying about the phenomenological movement since 2007. I've read and re-read logical investigations, Being and Time, some parts of Ideas, some readings of Heidegger II. But, this book of Husserl, is of Capital Importance because it is in the first book (1929)where he is referring directly to ideas as: sense investigations, inter subjectivity very well developed, and the whole critique of positivism through the conventional logic and how it has failed as theory of science because it has taken the place of just another empirical science. This book helps a lot to understand how the idealism of Husserl is different from Descartes, Kant and I think form Hegel too. I must not forget to say this: It helps a lot to understand Heidegger. In fact in this book one can find that the elimination of particular experience in science can be in general through positivism... but one must not forget that we have a body too... I mean talk about only of Dasein.... and never again of subjectivity can make someone to misunderstand the idea of ontological instance. But, Inter subjectivity get back to the idea of particular experience... 100% recommendable!
