Abstract

The question of this paper follows an empirical study carried out from 2019 to 2021. The paper looks for a method by which empirical statements about transsubjective argumentations can be answered in a syntactically correct and semantically interpreted scientific language. The answer is given by demarcating Methodological Constructivism against Logical Empirism. In Logical Empirism, only an analytical a priori is recognized. In Methodical Constructivism, the experiential a priori is addressed, which makes a transsubjective orientation possible in the first place.
