ABSTRACT

These 'different forms' indicate the 'different epistemological intentions and forms' of 'methodological stances' (TS 129). 'Each pattern is appropriate to its respective goals' and 'has its own full value' according to 'what can be grasped with it in practice'. Like 'words and sentences', 'methods are not false in principle' but 'only in an unacceptable application' (TS 129n) (cf. 11.61). Hartmann's concern for the 'value' and 'intentions' of 'statements' befits his vision of 'science' 'striving for a totality of possible determinations' (TS 129) (cf. 11.2; 12.63).
