Act

In more than 30 years of teaching and research, Geldsetzer has mastered a wide range of philosophical topics, both in the field of the history of philosophy and in systematic philosophy, as a specialist in general (as Auguste Comte characterizes the philosopher ) . Extremely rare for philosophical teaching, it not only covered the entire history of philosophy from ancient times , the Middle Ages , modern times and the present , but also the basic and area disciplines of philosophy ( metaphysics , ontology , epistemology , practical philosophy , philosophical anthropology ). In addition, he dealt with the philosophy of other cultures, with Chinese philosophy being a focus.

Philosophically, Geldsetzer was attributed to idealism , trying to combine sensualistic elements, such as those found in George Berkeley , with the systematic tradition of German idealism . This is expressed, among other things, in his pyramidal logic from 1987, in which Geldsetzer tried to build the logic not on statements, but initially on terms that can be understood as structures with intensional content and extensional scope and represented in a clear pyramidal notation.
