Reinholds Auffassung der Analyse in seiner realistischen Phase

The essay deals with Reinhold’s idea of analysis in the early years of 19 century, precisely in the review Beyträge and in the Versuch of 1805 dedicated to this topic proposed by the Academy of Berlin. Reinhold conceives analysis in his first accounts of rational realism as the application of thinking to stuff, through which reality and possibility are originated. In the development of his view the life in its different degrees becomes increasingly important. Therefore the difference between logic as pure analysis and phenomenology as exposition of its manifestation in life is questioned. In the last issue of the Beyträge and in the Versuch the idea of “nexus” opens to a further development of analysis that operates with the basic ideas of identity and not-identity and includes explicitly the difference in sensible certainty conceived as analogy.
