1. The Logic Of Philosophy And The Doctrine Of Categories
Develops a logic of philosophical inquiry that clarifies how judgments can achieve objective validity while articulating a doctrine of categories that structures the ways meaning and being are disclosed. It separates the realm of validity from empirical existence, rejects psychologism, and argues that different regions of reality—such as nature, culture, and value—require distinct categorical frameworks. The result is a systematic bridge between epistemology and ontology that reorients transcendental investigation and anticipates themes later explored in phenomenology.
