Edmund Husserl was a prominent philosopher and mathematician from Austria-Germany. He is best known for founding the school of phenomenology and critiquing historicism and psychologism in logic early in his career. Throughout his mature work, he concentrated on intentionality and developed a foundational science using phenomenological reduction, with a focus on transcendental consciousness. Husserl taught at several universities, such as Göttingen and Freiburg, leaving a significant impact on 20th-century philosophy. Despite facing expulsion by the Nazi Party due to his Jewish background, he continued his scholarly pursuits until his passing in 1938.
