In The Theory Of Husserl's Logical Investigations "theory Of Meaning

Husserl thinks that the meaning is ideal. It doesn’t exist in the time and space, and also doesn’t in our minds. How, if thoughts or sense are external to the mind, do they relate to our empirical activities of thinking and reasoning? How does it come about that we are able to grasp them? How does logic come to be applicable to our actual thinkings and inferrings? And how does our empirical activity of expression catch relation to the meaning?This paper tries to investigate Husserl’s theory of meaning with these questions. And it is by the part-whole theory especially by the dependent theory that Husserl can reach the definition of meaning. Further more, with this theory he also can deal with the question of the relation between logic and our empirical activities of thinking. Commonly, it seems that the expression expresses the meaning. But Husserl uses his own method to explain the relation between expression and ideal meaning. Husserl gives two words:meaning-intention and meaning-fulfillment. The differentiation of sign and expression is made by the idea that the former has meaning, but the latter doesn’t. Husserl argues that there is an act which conferred meaning to the expression. It is the act that makes a expression being a expression. The act just is called meaning-intention. But there is a special case which is about the occasional expressions or so-called index. Husserl tries to give a answer by making a differentiation between the indicating meaning and the indicated meaning. To complete his theory of meaning, Husserl tries to change the occasional expressions into objective expression. But he thinks it is impossible. We usually think that a expression expresses an object. But then a questing will be asked. Why a expression can express an object? For the question Husserl gives his own explication.One side is logic and meaning as ideal, the other side is expression, thinking and object as empirical things. Husserl gives his own method to explicate the relation of the two sides.
