Thinking-book
Froeb (cross-reference)
A short designation for "An Introduction to Systematic Thinking through Its Practice" --- the second book of the trilogy. The Thinking-text deliberately cultivates what was discovered performatively in the Truth-book: the four basic logical operations (self-application, differentiation, sublation, recognition) as the method of systematic thinking. In the Thinking-text, these operations are not taught from outside, but made conscious in the enactment of their application.
Die drei bücher als einheit
Truth-book (performative discovery), Thinking-book (methodical cultivation), Hegel-commentary (systematic grounding)
Systematische entsprechungen
- **Classification** (1st dimension) corresponds to the judgments of quality and quantity (Ch. 10.6-10.7) - **Articulation** (Ch. 2nd dimension) corresponds to the judgments of necessity/relation (Ch. 10.7-10.8) - **Relation** (3rd dimension) corresponds to the concept/modality judgments and the inferences (Ch. 10.9, 11) - **Integration of the three dimensions** corresponds to the system of inference (Ch. 13)
Verhältnis zum hegel-kommentar
The Thinking-book develops the method practically (through exercise and application); the Hegel-commentary grounds it systematically (in its logical necessity). What is cultivated there as practice proves here to be the structure of the forms of judgment and the logic of inference.
Zentrale strukturen
The three dimensions of systematic thinking (classification, articulation, relation), the integration of these dimensions in the logic of inference, the distinction between mechanical and living systematics, the perversions of system (when order becomes an end in itself).
