Der vorliegende Ergänzungsband zu Husserliana Band XI Analysen zur passiven Synthesis enthält den letzten Teil der ursprünglichen Fassung der Vorlesung über `Transzendentale Logik' vom Wintersemester 1920/21, deren Hauptteil in Band XI veröffentlicht wurde. Diese Vorlesung spielt eine wichtige Rolle in der Entwicklung von Husserls Philosophie. Sie markiert den Übergang zur genetischen Phänomenologie, und sie ist Husserls erster durchgeführter Entwurf einer transzendentalen Logik. Der hier veröffentlichte Teil der Vorlesung diente Ludwig Landgrebe als Grundlage für die Ausarbeitung von Erfahrung und Urteil.
