Abstract
If we again take up the Idea of the theory of science guiding us from the beginning, then, as the formal theory of meaning and ontology described, logic is the first manifestation of this Idea. Knowing (Wissen) in the sense of science (Wissenschaft) is thinking or thought-state-of-mind that refers back to thinking. Corresponding to thinking is something thought, and so corresponding to every science is a system of judgments in my meaning-theoretical sense, a system of postulated truths and probabilities, and these refer to objects and states-of-affairs. The science of meanings in general, of truths, possibilities, probabilities in general, of objects in general in absolutely pure, formal universality, yields a system of absolute truths to which every science is obviously bound, and which are prior in terms of validity to every science in general−as already to every judgment in general.

Subsequent note by Husserl, “The account is unfortunately very incomplete. I would have had to deal with valuating and willing together from the outset. It is also clear that all value-free existence forms a single main domain, and similarly all valuating and wishing”. (Editor’s note).

Subsequent note by Husserl, “An important observation forces itself on us here. Axiological and practical analytics yields an a priori just as absolute as analytic logic. Is the ontology of nature with respect to space and probably also with respect to causality, different? Yet: Time has a fixed a priori. How is that to be explained?” (Editor’s note).
