Abstrakt

In the preceding chapters we have embraced the idea of logic as a criterial reconstruction of necessary truth; and we have seen that the concepts of reference and meaning can be grasped as tools for such a reconstruction. In Chapter 2, moreover, we indicated that grammar can be approached analogously as a criterial reconstruction of "well-formedness"¹²⁶. Now it is time to say more about the very concept of criterial reconstruction.
