In Logical Investigations (1900/1901), Husserl claims that the epistemological foundation of pure logic requires a certain theory of intentionality, in which is distinguished act, content and object. This conception is inspired by the work of Kazimierz Twardowski, On the Content and Object of Presentations (1894). Husserl accepts Twardoswski’s position, according to which the content intermediate the relation between the act and the object. But Husserl, by virtue of his antipsychologism, reworks Twardowski’s theory, assuming that the meaning is an ideal content and not a psychic one. This brings the problem, in Logical Investigations, of the apprehension of ideal meaning by a real subject, a problem which finds its solution in the theory of instantiation.
