PURICELLI, Franco César. Psychologism, Abstraction and Possibility in Husserl's Logical Investigations. Diánoia [online]. 2021, vol.66, n.87, pp.75-100.  Epub 14-Mar-2022. ISSN 0185-2450.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704913e.2021.87.1854.

In this paper I analyse the critique of psychologism advanced by Husserl in his Logical Investigations. In order to adequately rebuild the author's approach, I will link the central points of the argument against psychologism developed in the first volume with some analyses and theses introduced by Husserl in the second volume. These analyses and theses, although not explicitly presented as criticisms of psychologism, are clear contributions to overcoming a radical empiricist approach, closely linked to subjectivism and psychologism. I pay special attention to the critique of the theories of abstraction carried out in the Second Investigation, whose link with the critique of psychologism is not properly recognized. I also analyze the concept of ideal possibility, which is fundamental for the understanding of the Husserlian concept of species.
