Geometry, intuition and experience: from Kant to Husserl

In his famous celebratory lecture ‘Geometry and Experience’ held before the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin in 1921, Einstein raised the puzzle: How is it possible that mathematics as a product of human thought, independent of all experience, fits reality so well?1
