Sažetak
The paper sets out from Göodel's question about primitive concepts, in connection with Gödel's proposal of the employment of phenomenological method. The author assumes that the answer that can be found in Kant is relevant as a starting point. In a modification of the approach by K. Reich, a reconstruction of Kant's ``deduction'' of logical forms of judgment is presented, which serve Kant as the basis for his ``metaphysical deduction of categories'' including substantiality and causality. It is proposed that different aspects of the ``original unity of self-consciousness'' as applied to and attached to concrete representations step by step yield different forms of concepts, judgments, and inferences. Categorical, hypothetical and disjunctive judgments are shown to be gradually strengthening the conditions of bringing our representations under the objective unity of consciousness, and in this way gradually implementing logical laws. The corresponding concepts of substantiality, causality, and mutual influence appear to be grounded in the primitive forms of our thinking.
