The Phenomenological Constitution of the Entity of Meaning: Husserl s Theory of Meaning in Logical Investigations

Both Husserl and Frege are the major representative figures of the theory of meaning.Though Husserl doesn t agree with Frege on the point that the meaning or thought exists in 'the third area',he is consistent with the later on that the meaning is 'the third entity' which is different with both the objective things and the subjective consciousness.In his Logical Investigations,Husserl tried to demonstrate the objectivity and identity of meaning through the elimination of some vagueness and confusions on the problem of relationship between expression and its meaning.In this process,'the entity of meaning' was established as an important concept of philosophy.
