Theory of meaning isn’t the central problem of Husserl’s phenomenology, but he treats of meaning for supporting his notion of pure logic. Since there is a strong connection between logic and language, Logical investigations begins with the discussion of language and meaning. In order to identifying the essence of expression, Husserl excludes indication and reference from it, and argues for distinction between sense and reference. Then he applies this distinction on different types of expression (proper name, universal name, sentence). This distinction is the center of Husserl’s theory of meaning, and according to this article, it continues in Husserl’s second intellectual period. In the second period, He proposes this distinction under the distinction between noema and object. In this article, we shall concern with Husserl’s view on sense and reference and the nature of sense. In the last section of this article, we shall discuss of Husserl’s solution for avoiding Platonism.

The aim of this article is to reconstruct the problems and answers which Aristotle raises in Zeta and eta of Metaphysics. Aristotle’s fundamental presupposition here is that definition has parts, and it corresponds to essence or form. This very presupposition leads to the main problems raised in Zeta and Eta. These problems are ordered at each other, and answering one leads to other. According to this articles reconstruction, Aristotle encounters to four main problems on compounds, unity of definition, matter as part of definition, and universality of definition. If definition should to have parts, parts also need to have some unity. then, what guarantees this having parts and yet having some unity? Aristotle’s answer is matter. now, Aristotle encounters with the problem of justification of matter’s entering into definition, because matter is unintelligible. For answering this difficulty, matter should have considered universalized and indeterminate, and this, in turn, leads to last problem, namely, the problem of universality of definition.
