Edmund Husserl published his Logical Investigations in two volumes in 1900 and 1901. The first volume, Prolegomena to Pure Logic in 1900, and the second volume which appeared in 1901, subtitled Investigations about Phenomenology and the Theory of Knowledge, was divided into six investigations, each one dedicated to a separate, although complementary theme. The Prolegomena offered the strongest possible refutation to the then-dominant psychologistic interpretation of logic, in that sense this treatise is dedicated to securing the true meaning of logic as a pure, a priori, the science of ideal meanings and the formal laws regulating them. There is a “lesson” -Marperger lesson- that Husserl taught around 1898, although it had been prepared since 1896, where the critique of psychologism is more clearly apparent. In this article, we try to show fragments and/or paragraphs of Marperger's lesson whose coincidence is complete, and sometimes exact, with some paragraphs of the Prolegomena
