contribution to the philosophy of science
Edmund Husserl was the founder of phenomenology and one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. Husserl was a mathematician who was influenced by German philosopher Franz Brentano who was already studying consciousness towards an object. With the basis of Brentano and the ever-evolving mind of Husserl, phenomenology was birthed. -
