(2017) Essays on Husserl's logic and philosophy of mathematics, Dordrecht, Springer.
Husserl, in his doctrine of categories, distinguishes what he calls regions from what he calls formal categories. The former are most general domains, while the latter are topic-neutral concepts that apply across all domains. Husserl's understanding of these notions of category is here discussed in detail. It is, moreover, argued that similar notions of category may be recognized in Carnap's Der logische Aufbau der Welt.
