系列讲座内容：
One very widespread assumption in philosophy has been that empiricism entails materialism: if all knowledge reaches us through our senses, then the only things we can know something about are material objects. We therefore have no basis for believing that there are any non-material objects, and even if there were, we can know nothing about them.
There seems to be few reasonable alternatives to empiricism. Anamnesis, as in Plato’s Meno, will not do, and various proposals for alternative kinds of access to non-material objects are not very satisfactory. Nevertheless, the assumption that empiricism entails materialism has been taken for granted and is not supported by any reasonable argument.
In this lecture series we will examine and develop the phenomenological view first set forth by the Austrian-German philosopher Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), who argued that there are non-material objects and that they can be recognized in a process very closely related to ordinary perception. In fact, in Husserl’s phenomenology perception of physical objects is just a special case of this more universal way of recognizing objects of any kind.
Part of our project is to develop the Husserlian approach further and to apply it to the two core problems in the philosophy of mathematics: are there mathematical entities and if so, how can we find out something about them? To this end we will also study the work of the logician Kurt G?del who discussed phenomenology in connection with his groundbreaking mathematical theorems and their philosophical ramifications.
