Prof. A. Riehl begins in this number a series of articles on logic. The
first two chapters are (1) concepts and definitions. Riehl distinguishes
between a definition and a predicating sentence (_Aussage_), for
instance, “Space has three dimensions,” is a mere definition, but “Space
is the form of our intuition,” is an _Aussage_. (2) Conceptual sentences
and judgments. The former are merely representative and cannot as the
latter be said to combine or separate ideas.
Ad. Nitsche criticises Johannes v. Kries’s idea that the calculus
of probabilities is admissible only if the chances are equivalent.
Equivalent Chances (_gleiche Spielräume_), he objects, are apparently
impossible, yet he admits that upon the degree of a knowledge of the
conditions will depend the reliability of the probability.
The Object of B. Seligkowitz’s article is to rescue from oblivion a
philosopher who especially as a critic of Kant deserves to be better
known than he is, Ernst Platner (1744-1818.)
The tenth and concluding article of A. Marty on the origin of language
reviews Paul Regnaud’s work _Origine et philosophie du langage_.
