Part III: Six Fundamental Challenges

  1. The Systematic Starting Point: Logic against Speculation
  2. Gottlob Frege — The Logical Revolution as the Foundation of Analytic Hegel Critique
  3. Ernst Mach (1838–1916) — Empirio-Criticism and the Elimination of Metaphysics
  4. Bertrand Russell — The Rebellion against the British Hegelians
  5. Alfred North Whitehead — The Organic Alternative
  6. The Early Wittgenstein: Logic as Limit
  7. The Vienna Circle (1920s–1930s) — Logical Empiricism and the “Overcoming of Metaphysics”
  8. The Late Wittgenstein as a Systematic Response to the Failure of the Vienna Circle
  9. The Systematic Integration — Oriented Pluralism instead of Relativism
  10. Excursus: Modern Physics and Dialectical Thought
