edmund husserl addressed the artwork or, more specifically, its aesthetics only tangentially. His work on aesthetics compiled in the folder Ästhetik und Phänomenologie is a slim collection comprised of several texts written between 1906 and 1908 (Husserl 1980; cf. Scaramuzza and Schuhmann 1990). His criticism of the psychologistic or naturalistic approach, as we find it in Logische Untersuchungen (1900–1901), leads methodically, even in the aesthetic sphere, to the demand to view the essence of a work of art in the most general manner.
