๐๏ธ The Logical Structure of the World Lectures
My notes on the debate course โThe Logical Structure of the Worldโ, which is part of my minor in Philosophy at the University of Regensburg. I am going to work with the English translation of the book as well as the German original Version. My notes will be in English (as far as possible).
Course description:
For the past four centuries, empiricism has held that all knowledge of the world is based on sense perception. Irrespective of all the arguments for and against, the question arises as to what a system of concepts and theses could look like that satisfies this empiricist creed. [โฆ] The seminar will primarily discuss the โstructureโ from a systematically interested perspective. In particular, the concrete construction steps are reconstructed.
