[http://www.scientologie.org/se_nlife.htm Life of Dr. Anastasius Nordenholz] , inFree Zone “alternative scientology” site.]In 1904, he published a study titled "Allgemeine Theorie der gesellschaftlichen Produktion" ("General Theory of the Production in Society"), which was linked with Schopenhauer and in which he examined Kant's criticism. This concerned political economics, with a focus on the science of human thinking and knowledge. This book was followed in 1927 with "Welt als Individuation - Entwurf eines Individuationismus" ("World as Individuation - Concept of an Individuationism"). A supplement of the Publishing House Felix Meiner in Leipzig said:
:“the author wants to unify the two big tendencies of European Spirituality, namely Kant's criticism and Darwin's selectionism. He tries to place the means of thinking of both directions in a neutral conceptional system and therewith tries to obtain a starting point in order to actually establish a critical statement regarding our conceptual thinking. The new unification is called individuationism. Hence a methodology of thinking of the world is signified which is based on the assumption of a world creative role of individuation. Within individuation, the inner circle of the
consciousness and the outer circle of thesense s have one and the samedenominator . Perhaps we find here the decisive word for a solution to the rational-irrational crisis from which our actualconceptual thinking suffers".His work "
