Overview

Experience, Reason, and the Crisis of the Republic is a four-part realist polemic against nominalism, relativism, and nihilism in two volumes of two parts each. The first part of this first volume formulates (in 1st-order logic) Husserl’s realist dependence ontology of objects of experiences as the Calculus [CP] of Phenomena, defines eight types of dependence, contrasts realist to nominalist constituent ontologies and atomism and [CP] to Leonard-Goodman’s nominalist constituent ontology [LGCI] of individuals, and discusses [CP] in relation to time and classical realist ontologies. The second part of this volume uses [CP]-objects as Urelements in a class-set correlation theory [E] of intentional experiences of objects, contrasts Kant’s to Husserl’s views of experienced time and Kant’s view of noumena to Husserl’s view of phenomena as limits of experience, and argues that empirical facts are [CP]-relation complexes and finite ordinals are formal objects abstracted from events of experience.

Galileo essay provoked summer 1978 invitations to present on Kant at Oxford (Balliol) and join the Seminar for Austro-German Philosophy (SAGP).
