ABSTRACT

The task of a science of meanings would be to investigate the structure of essential laws of meanings and the laws of the connection and modification of meanings based thereupon, and to reduce them to a minimum number of independent elementary laws. Edmund Husserl points out that the thought of a universal grammar can be extended beyond the a priori sphere, in that the sphere of the generally human in an empirical sense is included. The traditional logic provides isolated pertinent beginnings in the doctrines of the concept and judgment, but without consciousness of the goals to be placed under the point of view of the pure idea of meaning. The harmoniousness or absurdity of meanings means objective and therewith a priori possibility as opposed to objective impossibility. It means the possibility or impossibility of the being of meant objects, it is conditioned by the essence of the meanings and can consequently be intuited with apodictic evidence.
