Husserl and Frege

a contribution to elucidating the origins of phenomenological philosophy

Dagfinn Føllesdal

pp. 3-47

Abstract

This essay was written when I was studying mathematics in Göttingen in 1954–55 with a fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). At that time my background in philosophy was limited to a one semester course that is compulsory for all students in Norwegian universities. However, Professor Arne Næss liked the essay and suggested that I submit it as a Master's Thesis in philosophy at the University of Oslo. He also arranged to have it published in the monograph series of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, where it appeared in 1958. I am indebted to Arne Næss for taking this interest in my work, and also to the German Academic Exchange Service for their support.
