You'll be feeling lost no matter what. But a good start would be
> Brentano
> Hume
> Kant
> Stumpf
> Descartes (just the Meditation, dont lose too much time, it won't come into play until later).
> Understanding what Mill, Spencer, Sigwart and Lange (or the other neo-Kantians) in general will help you, but it's by opposition, so don't lose too much time on it either.
Godspeed, anon. We are all the Ur-Ego.

some introduction wouldnt hurt but they all make him seem more boring than he actually is
if you already have a grasp of descartes-hume-kant and their concepts or whatever I would actually suggest reading posterior phenomenologists and then go back to Husserl since they all kind of made phenomenology less abstract
They will seem like non-sense but then you go back to Husserl and the whole thing clicks more easily, but he is still always hard to get into. After you get past behind his vocabulary it isnt that hard, at least not Kant or Hegel tier hard.

just noticed this makes it sound like he is boring regardless
he really isnt
also I would suggest reading his early stuff about time first before the rest

Pharaoh (1999).

>pic related is likely the greatest researcher on Husserl alive and can't find a job for the life of him, infamously saying he only played the city-builder Pharaoh (1999) when a concerned anon invited him to play games as friends

What interest you in Husserl, specifically? If you only want to understand him generally, then you don't really need anything else but Brentano, and even then it isn't entirely required.
>After you get past behind his vocabulary it isnt that hard, at least not Kant or Hegel tier hard.
I'm going to assume here you haven't tried getting into On the Passive Synthesis.

I'm unemployed in relation to my field with a much sexier field. Sucks to read Husserl.

> Burger
> expert on Husserl
Lol. This is precisely his problem. Had he tried applying anywhere else than the US, he would have gotten taken immediately (assuming he is decent).
The best experts on Husserl on this side of the Atlantic are French-Canadians.

>What interest you in Husserl, specifically?
I'm interested in the problem of objective knowledge and what conditions determine its possibility, which is what I heard phenomenology as a subject is directly concerned with, along with, of course, questions concerning existence and being.

>the problem of objective knowledge and what conditions determine its possibility
Well, that's Husserl's central issue throughout his entire research, so you aren't looking in the wrong place. It just iterates on itself. Philosophy of Arithmetic poses the first issue, Frege answered, Husserl listened, and then he abandoned philosophy of mathematics proper (besides taking time to shit on Cantor) because the issue of objective knowledge was yet to be covered. Everything that follows is just work on that issue, just very *very* pointed work.
Start with Logical Investigations, that would be the turning point on this issue, which establishes more or less his future program.

Damn everytime I post in a Husserl thread I just wrack them in.

Husserlbro, who the hell is Jocob Klein? He seems like an incredible philosopher who rightly criticized Husserl

>who the hell is Jocob Klein
A student of Husserl, beyond that I know little of him.

Just because he can't get a job in philosophy doesn't mean he has to work minimum wage. Plenty of PHDs in data analytics

Thank you anon.
