Summary/Abstract: According to C. Rădulescu-Motru, “genetic logic” is the study of logical operations in what concerns their historical origins and evolution. His understanding of logic was at the same time a criticism towards Kantian anhistorical apriorism grounded on an utterly different concept of consciousness. The following article will argue that Rădulescu-Motru’s psychological unity of consciousness is nevertheless compatible with Kant’s logical unity of consciousness in general “Bewusstsein überhaupt”, regardless of what Rădulescu-Motru’s intentions might have been.
