The view that language is a vehicle for the communication of (immaterial) "concepts," in opposition with the (physical) "words" that carry them, is the foundation of Western philosophy of language, and perhaps the foundation of Western philosophy in general. As Edmund Husserl and Jacques Derrida confront this relationship between ideality and reality in language, the old order promulgating this binary comes into question. The following essay explores this challenge to the traditional account of language as well as its wider implications for ontology and subjectivity.

Estas reflexões têm como objetivo principal analisar a crise dos fundamentos das ciências modernas na perspectiva de Edmund Husserl. Com efeito, na primeira metade do século XX, o autor das Investigações lógicas levanta o brado em torno da existência de uma crise científica e, ao mesmo tempo, procura diagnosticar as causas e remediar os males que acarretaram tal crise. Mais precisamente, o pensamento husserliano tem como ponto de partida a crítica aos limites e à possibilidade do conhecimento proposto pelas filosofias de Descartes e de Kant. Mas Husserl ataca igualmente o espírito reducionista do positivismo científico – com o desenvolvimento e a sofisticação de suas técnicas – assim como a imposição não menos reducionista do historicismo que, ao afastarem o “sujeito do mundo”, romperam suas “relações primigênias”, espoliando assim o papel do sujeito na construção do conhecimento.Abstract: These reflections aim principally at analyzing the crisis of the modern science foundations from Edmund Husserl’s perspective. Indeed, at the first half of the 20th century, the author of Logical Investigations points vehemently out to the existence of a scientific crisis and tries, at the same time, to diagnose the causes and to show a solution to the disadvantages that brought about such a crisis. More precisely, the Husserlian thought has as its starting point the critique against the limits and the possibilities of knowledge proposed by the philosophies of Descartes and Kant. However, Husserl also attacks the reducing spirit of scientific positivism – together with the development and sophistication of its techniques – as well as the no less reducing and imposing historicism. Both trends have not only removed the “world subject”, but also disrupted its “primeval relations” having, thus, deprived the role of the subject in the construction of knowledge.Keywords: Husserl, crisis, sciences, subject, knowledge.

This chapter examines R. Hermann Lotze's interpretation of the theory of ideas and how it influenced the development of Husserlian phenomenology by offering a reading of Lotze's third book of his Logic. It suggests that, although he had assimilated Lotze's theory of validity (Geltung) and theory of ideas, Edmund Husserl proposes a theory of knowledge that is different from Lotze's. It argues that, as Martin Heidegger did in his Winter Semester 1925–1926 course, Husserl rejoins Aristotle's theory of the reciprocal opposition of the known and the knower, and thus begins to escape the impasse to which the modern notion of object leads at the level of the sixth of his Logical Investigations. For, as Heidegger claims, with the Lotzian theory of Geltung, the final stage of the decadence of the question of truth is not yet achieved.

In the Philosophical Investigation, Ludwig Wittgenstein suggested that emotion is nothing but behavioral expressions through an open-ended sequence of actions. Edmund Husserl made a claim in Logical Investigations saying that pure mathematics would be made a branch of psychology as mathematics, specifically adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying, are just a result of mental processes. Combining the suggestion and claim made by these two philosophers and using information process theory, cognitive appraisal theory, behaviorism and number theory, this paper will argue that emotion is algorithmic by showing the computability of emotion and how the equation for emotion can follow a logical sequence of actions that ultimately determines a specific emotion.

In the Logical Investigations, Edmund Husserl defines that which is normative as the objectively regular with its rules of regularity, which can be recognised rationally – normativity concerns the being itself and the rational cognition of the being (logic as a normative discipline establishing the rules of scientific knowledge, as the science of science). Instead, Adolf Reinach in The Apriori Foundations of the Civil Law defines the notion of norm as polysemantic and distinguishes the legal provisions (the prescriptive sentences), formulated within a given community, from the basic norms which are grounded in the objective (including moral) justness of the states of affairs. The obligation of the being and the obligation of acting exist in themselves, independently from cognition. In turn, “enactments and the propositions which express enactments” as a kind of normative sentences have the character of normalisation, but they require a person to pronounce them. The prescriptions realise and refer to what is objectively being and to the objectivity of what is being and obligatory. In my text, I present Reinach’s position on the relations between norms and provisions (as prescriptive propositions “which express enactments”) referring his theories to the Husserlian concept of normativity.
