Structural phenomenology: A reading of the early Husserl

Abstract

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to show that Edmund Husserl’sLogical Investigationsshould be regarded as one of the fundamental sources of structuralism. Husserl’s version of structuralism is, however, quite original in many respects. Indeed, what Husserl advocates in his works can be defined, following and expanding a line of research inaugurated by scholars like Elmar Holenstein and Giovanni Piana (see Holenstein, E. 1975.Roman Jakobsons phänomenologischer Strukturalismus.
