The main item in the present volume was published in under the title Das Unendliche in der Mathematik und seine Ausschaltung. It was at that time the fullest systematic account from the standpoint of Husserl's phenomenology of what is known as 'finitism' also as 'intuitionism' and 'constructivism' in mathematics.

Nevertheless, as a whole it retains much of its original interest and value.

It presents the issues in the foundations of mathematics that were under debate when it was written and in some cases still are ; , and it offers one alternative to the currently dominant set-theoretical definitions of the cardinal numbers and other arithmetical concepts. While still a student at the University of Vienna, Felix Kaufmann was greatly impressed by the early philosophical writings especially by the Logische Untersuchungen of Edmund Husser! But he thought of himself as a phenomenologist, and made frequent use in all his major publications of many of Husserl's logical and epistemological theses.
