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 author primarily critiques the then-dominant psychologism, arguing that it confuses psychological objects with logical objects, causing the latter's objectivity to be overshadowed by the former's subjectivity, thereby 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 author systematically elucidates the phenomenological theory itself.
