Strenges Denken auf dem Weg in eine erneuerte Philosophie

Friedrich Kambartel's philosophical development leads from a critique of axiomaticism and empiricism to the insight that all formal logic is only a technical part of mathematical notation, no theory of rational argumentation. Moreover, philosophy in the 20th century tends to confuse conceptual clarity with definitional distinctness, rigour with exactitude, sometimes even science with metaphysical world-views. So much more important is Kambartel's art of drawing lines in conceptual geographies with interesting results for political economy as well as philosophy of religion.
