Abstract

A meaningful expression by Husserl carries an indication and a meaning at the same time. Consequently, in common speech both indication and meaning get confused. However, for the phi- losopher is indispensable to draw up these two instances from the standpoint of a descriptive psy- chology that may describe more precisely the behavior of an expression as such. Therefore, this paper wishes to clarify the distinction raised by Husserl between “indication” and “meaning”. This fundamental distinction, that gets blurred by the common speech, must be drawn out by a phenom- enology of intentionality. To illustrate and enlighten such a distinction the relation of pure and ap- plied mathematics with their respective objects was taken as a paradigm.
