Abstract

The present paper focuses on Edmund Husserl´s manuscript known by the title “The Origins of Geometry”. The first part of the paper adresses the Husserlian hypotesis according to which there woul be a mutual implication between teleological advancement and the return to origins in the sciences and notably in Geometry. The second part investigates the changes from the pre-geometric world to the universe of univocal accuracy. Finally, the paper adresses the conditions for the birth and transmission of Geometry in Husserl´s conception: the oral language, the intropathic conncetions and, above all, the written notation.
