More about the book

The essay explores the unique logic of the humanities, emphasizing their metä-intentional nature, which differs from the natural sciences. It highlights the significance of Ludwig Wittgenstein's "Investigations" in clarifying the logical structure of social sciences, while critiquing the prevalent notion of "methodic solipsism." The second part delves into first philosophy, contrasting intentions of individuals with the intensions of words, drawing on the insights of Kant and Wittgenstein, and referencing foundational ideas from both John and Goethe to underscore its themes.
