One of the first things I noticed when I started reading Husserl was the emphasis on an underlying utility he associated with logic in characterizing it as a normative science. This was not part of the Kantian framework outlined in "Critique of Pure Reason" where judging the merit of a speculative investigation on the basis of utility alone was explicitly discouraged. Given this, I concluded that this introduction/recognition of game-theoretic motivations was probably a consequence of the rise of an entrepreneurial class during the nineteenth century along with increasing national identification in political spheres. Of course, your work has made specific claims where I simply formulated a vague hypothesis. And, I am most definitely unqualified to comment on the specifics. But, I found the thesis interesting nonetheless. Good luck with it. :-) mitch
