This text considers some issues common to the philosophical systems of Kant and Husserl. The distinction between Kant’s Synthesis and Husserl’s Intentionality is the main subject of this book. The theme of the analysis is the variation of the position and essence of the term Intuition - Anschauung in the two systems. In both systems, Intuition has a central significance. In Kant’s system it is because of his conception that the structure of knowledge is a synthesis of intuition and reason. In Husserl’s system this is because he considered Intuition to be the medium for the discernment of data. Given the structured nature of philosophical systems, these topics cannot be isolated from the systems in which they function, relating them in each case with various paths of investigation and different interpretations of phenomenology.
