Diese Monographie untersucht Leonard Nelsons Kritik an der Erkenntnistheorie. Leonard Nelson war in den ersten dreißig Jahren des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts ein bekannter Philosoph, der zusammen mit dem Neukantianismus seine Bedeutung verlor. In letzter Zeit lässt sich jedoch eine deutliche Zunahme des Interesses an Neukantianismus beobachten. Dieses Buch leistet somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zu den neuen Tendenzen in der gegenwärtigen philosophischen Geschichtsschreibung und der systematischen Erforschung der zeitgenössischen Philosophie. Der Autor stellt darin eine eingehende und systematische Analyse der Kritik von Nelson an der Erkenntnistheorie dar. Diese Kritik wird vor allem aus der Sicht des Neukantianismus vorgenommen, aber auch andere wichtige Referenzen wie Phänomenologie und Positivismus werden berücksichtigt.

Contains twenty essays devoted to the philosophy of mathematics and the history of logic which are divided into four parts: general philosophical problems of mathematics, Hilbert's program vs the incompleteness phenomenon, philosophy of mathematics in Poland, mathematical logic in Poland.

An additional reference to Husserlian deepest transcendental reduction: the Now as being freed from temporality. It compares the author's thoughts to the ideas and to the concept of the modalization of the consciousness that is present in the post-Husserlian temporalities.
