Über dieses E-Book
This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. Heidegger's paper "Recent Research on Logic" examines the development of scientific logic since the early 20th century, challenging the traditional view of logic as a fixed set of forms and rules. It emphasises the shift from psychologism (the emphasis on psychological principles in logic) to a more transcendental approach, highlighting the work of philosophers such as Husserl and Bolzano in this transition. The paper discusses the nature of logic, its relation to psychology, and the implications of these changes for understanding concepts, judgment, and the theory of categories. It considers the distinction between mental acts and logical content, and argues for the intrinsic value of logic apart from the empirical disciplines. The paper also touches on object theory, judgement theory, and the interplay between logic and mathematics, underlining the continuing development and complexity of logical principles and their application in different fields of study.
