The objective of this work is to present and articulate the most immediate intellectual landscape that Husserl appropriated during his early years of training, specifically in relation to the research of B. Riemann, R. Dedekind, and G. Cantor. In particular, it seeks to highlight Husserl's philosophical reappropriation of the different mathematical concepts utilized by the aforementioned scholars. This is done under the hypothesis that within the intellectual horizon of the young Husserl, we find points of convergence with the emergence of modern set theory. The recognition of these antecedents is more than sufficient reason to justify a work such as the one I will present here. Therefore, I will begin with a review of the works of Riemann, Dedekind, and Cantor, while simultaneously showing their influences on Husserl's work, and finally presenting the pertinent conclusions.
