position

Within Neo-Kantianism , Robert Reininger , who published works on the psychophysical problem and the philosophy of values , and Alois Riehl as a representative of criticalism : For Riehl, philosophy is not a doctrine of worldview , but above all a critique of knowledge . Riehl emphasizes a continuation of Kant, in that new knowledge of the natural sciences and mathematics (e.g. non-Euclidean geometry ) are included.

Alois Riehl's position can also be determined through his student Richard Hönigswald : The basic problems of the given and human cognition are opposed to one another. Philosophical investigations into the thing in itself are based on thought-psychological considerations in which a connection between consciousness and object is described. It is language necessary for consciousness and only through language that can objectivity of an object are produced.
