Widersinn in Husserl’s Pure Logic

Logica Universalis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a unitary typology for the incompatibilities of meanings at stake on different levels of Husserlian pure logic—namely, between systems of axioms and pure morphology of meanings; I show that they perfectly match by converging on the notion of Widersinn (counter-sense).
