Bernard Bolzano: Band I,17: Bolzano’s Wissenschaftslehre und Religionswissenschaft in einer beurtheilenden Uebersicht

Between 1834 and 1840, Bolzano produced »Zergliederungen« (dissections) of his two major works, the ›Wissenschaftslehre‹ and the ›Religionswissenschaft‹. Due to their length, they »put the patience of their readers to a somewhat severe test« (›Beurtheilende Übersicht‹, p. 15). A shorter overview of the most important teachings of these works therefore seemed appropriate. Bolzano initially wanted to publish the two »Zergliederungen« as journal articles. In the end, however, he agreed to Fesl‘s suggestion to turn them into a book of their own. As such, it was published by Seidel in Sulzbach in 1841. It is published here as volume 17 of series I of the BGA.
