From the reviews: "Edmund Husserl is generally known as the philosopher who introduced the phenomenological method in philosophy. ... He developed a philosophy of arithmetic in which he discussed the concepts of number and set. It contains valuable insights and he has, for example, what is essentially the notion of a partially recursive function. ... her book is a welcome contribution to our further understanding of a very exciting period in the history of the foundations of mathematics."--- (Teun Koetsier, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1196, 2010)
