Description:
This text, published posthumously, marks the beginning of a period during which Lambert occupied himself intensively with philosophical issues, ultimately leading up to the Neues Organon (1764) and the Anlage zur Architectonic (1765/1771).
In this text, Lambert discusses the criteria of truth, the claritas and distinctio of concepts (after Descartes), especially with reference to mathematics and mechanical devices.
