Abstract
I claim that one concept of intellectual intuition serves as the grounding principle of the Wissenschaftslehre as a whole, and thus, of each "special science." My interpretation of intellectual intuition associates the determination of the pure will through the Aufforderung with intellectual intuition and the Categorical Imperative. The determination of the pure will as individuality can be viewed from three different perspectives: as a hypothetical ground and first principle of a general theory of consciousness, as a hypothetical imperative and first principle of a theory of right, and as a real intellectual intuition of the Categorical Imperative and the first principle of a theory of ethics
