Abstract

“We have repeatedly pointed out that the formation of the constructional system as a whole is the task of unified science, while construction theory is merely engaged in carrying out the appropriate logical investigations. By placing the objects of science in one unified constructional system, the different “sciences” are at the same time recognized as branches of the one science and are themselves brought into a system (§179).”1
