26 p, 1.1 MB Difference That Preserves : From Transcendental Genesis to a Genealogical Foundation of Mathematics / Ballús Santacana, Andreu (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Filosofia)
This paper reconstructs the philosophical genesis of a foundational motif-difference that preserves-emerging at the intersection of ontology, logic, and mathematics. Through a genealogical arc spanning Fichte's theory of self-positing, Hegelian mediation, Bergsonian duration, and the anti-psychologism of Bolzano and Frege, we identify a deep tension in modern foundations: how can a logic of differentiation account for identity across transformation? We propose that this unresolved tension structures both historical and contemporary foundational programs. [...]
