I recently decided to re-engage with Husserl's ouvre. Earlier today I searched for this lecture which I originally listened to as an undergrad back in ca. 2018, and now here it is.

For a long time I thought Husserl is outdated until I watched this video (and another lecture given by another philosophy professor) today. I think I should pay more attention to him, as well as his intellectual relations with his students like Leo Strauss. Now I even incline to think there seems to be no solid argument that can really refute the Husserlian idea of a transcendental ego.

Did Husserl ever directly engage with the opposing position of the historicists/sophists? Sokolowski mentions this opposing camp as one of two distinct antagonistic philosophical "schools" in Husserl's time. But nothing is mentioned about the arguments between the Historicist and the Phenomenological approaches. It would be helpful if someone could direct me to Husserl's engagement with this other school, or other philosophers who explicitly engaged in this argument.

Don't forget early Derrida as profoundly influenced by Husserl!

Phenomenology is like phrenology is to neuroscience

Husserl playing with words, while Otto Selz was
already creating his Lösungstheorie, the first
steps of Cognitive Psychology, from which it
will arrive Evolutionary Psychology today, with
Darwin’s evolution by natural and sexual selection
as the foundations. I have tried to study Husserl,
but he does not repay the effort.
