Features: The Logical Investigations is widely recognized as one of the most important "breakthrough" works in contemporary philosophy. Its influence not only shaped the thinking of many renowned philosophers but also extended far beyond the field of philosophy. In The Logical Investigations, Volume I, the authors primarily critique the then-dominant psychologism, arguing that it confuses psychological objects with logical objects, causing the objectivity of the latter to be lost in the subjectivity of the former, ultimately leading to the loss of objective truth and the embrace of skepticism. Husserl's critique ended psychologism's reign at the time and laid the foundation for the phenomenological theory. In The Logical Investigations, Volume II, the authors will systematically elaborate on the phenomenological theory itself.
