<p>The article presents a specific proposal of reading the Logic of Sense,<br />which – referring to the philosophy of Kant – I call architectural. Architectural<br />reading consists in the simultaneous analysis of philosophical theory and the formal<br />structure of the work. Although this technique may be referred to a number of<br />classic works, Logic’s case appears to be unique, as suggested by the author when he<br />names each of the 34 chapters ‘series’ as a pivotal concept for the theory. Therefore<br />Logic is deliberately self-reflexive, which means that the structure of chapters and<br />paragraphs, the nature of philosophical concepts, and even the difficulty in reading<br />are justified by contents. Finally, it appears that Logic is constructed as a puzzle<br />waiting to be solved in accordance with subjective questions and problems of the<br />reader. I intentionally do not present any particular proposal of reading, I merely<br />try to provide a ‘strategy’. In this sens, the article is a prolegomena to the proper<br />reading of the Logic of Sense.</p>
