Blaustein on Husserl’s Theory of Intentionality: Sources, Context and Main Arguments
Friday, 14 January 2022
10:15am ET, 3:15pm GMT, 4:15pm CET
Abstract: The paper deals with Leopold Blaustein’s (1905–1942 [or 1944]), a Polish-Jewish philosopher, aesthetician and psychologist, account of Husserl’s theory of intentionality. Blaustein was educated in Lvov (under, e.g., Twardowski and Ingarden), but he also held fellowships in Freiburg im Breisgau (in 1925; studies under Husserl) and in Berlin (in 1927/28; studies under the Gestaltists). Under Twardowski’s supervision, Blaustein wrote a thesis on Husserl’s theory of intentionality. The paper explores sources, context and main arguments elaborated by Blaustein in this very book. It is argued that for Blaustein Husserl’s “Untersuchungen” and the idea of act matter presented therein are best understood within the framework of the tradition that can be traced back to Bolzano and Brentano. According to Blaustein Husserl adopted an object-theory of intentionality. The paper also explores Blaustein’s criticism of Husserl’s theory of sensations understood as the content of consciousness.
