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