Experience, Reason, and the Crisis of the Republic is a four-part realist polemic against nominalism, relativism, and nihilism in two volumes. This second volume’s philosophy of language is a noetic modal semantics of languages encrypting intentional contents of experiences and the realist metaphysic of experience and reason applied by its historical and political analysis of the 21st Century crisis of European and American politics and culture. It argues that the contemporary crisis is symptomatic of the dominance of nominalist alternatives to the realist premises of Husserl’s metaphysic of experience and reason, that our experiences of ourselves and others include values, and that there are natural rights which (unlike civil entitlements) are God-given. It uses the modal logic of experience to prove that God exists, and then designs and seeks realist sociologists to implement empirical studies of political and economic consequences of nominalist metaphysical premises since 1912.

Gilbert T. Null received his BA in Philosophy from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1967, and his MA and PhD in Philosophy from the New School for Social Research, New York, in 1970 and 1974 respectively. He retired as Full Professor (Emeritus) from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, having taught there for over 30 years. His 1976 J.B.S.P. Galileo essay provoked summer 1978 invitations to present on Kant at Oxford (Balliol) and join the Seminar for Austro-German Philosophy (SAGP). He published 21 essays (1974-2007), the last three of which appeared in Husserl Studies.
