Notice, Preface, General Introduction
They establish the terminological framework, the canonical formula of the Begriff, the fundamental hypothesis, the method, and the structure of the work.
Systematic philosophical work in five volumes
Ontology of the Concept
Volume I — The Matrix of Mediated Truth
General Grammar of Real Determination.
This first volume determines the structure and grammar of validity; Volumes II–V will develop the process analytically along the four Axes of being, praxis, language, and method, before returning to the Matrix in the fifth.

Volume I
The foundational treatise of the Matrix
The Matrix of Mediated Truth shows why the concept must be understood as the immanent form through which the determinations of reality are articulated within a mediated totality, and why truth must be conceived as multi-level robustness.
A reader may stop here and already possess the theoretical core of the system. The subsequent volumes develop analytically what this first volume anticipates in matrix form.
- Canonical formula of the concept and its genetic-structural deduction
- Architectonic grammar of Axis, Function, Category, Hinge, and Relational Structure (Part II)
- General Systematic Table: four Axes, twenty-nine Functions, and their Categories (Part III, ch. 11)
- Deduction of the six Truth-Validity Levels, the Axis–Level Matrix, and the Function–Level Matrix (Part IV, chs. 12–30)
- Cross-checking, systemic revisability, and the concluding determination of the concept
Structure of the volume
From the foundation of the project to the Matrix of Truth-Validity Levels
Thirty chapters in four Parts, in addition to preliminaries and apparatus: from the definition of the project to the deduction of the grammar of validity.
Nature of the project and form of the work
Chapters 1–3. Determines the status of the system, distinguishes the linear index from the systematic index, and establishes control, revision, and revisability.
Key to the system
Chapters 4–10. Defines Axis, Function, Category, dominance and implication among Levels, Hinges, and Relational Structure.
The Systematic Index as the architecture of the work
Chapter 11. Presents the General Systematic Table: four Axes, twenty-nine Functions, and their Categories.
The Matrix of Truth-Validity Levels
Chapters 12–30. Deduces the six Levels, constructs the two Matrices, establishes cross-checking, and formulates the concluding determination of the concept.
The Matrix as a regulative grammar of validity
Establishes the theoretical result, the Matrix’s regulative autonomy, and the opening towards Volumes II–V.

Author
Gian Luca Di Tullio
Gian Luca Di Tullio is developing a systematic philosophical project devoted to the ontology of the concept, mediated truth, and the relation between dialectical idealism, social ontology, historical praxis, language, and freedom.
The engagement with Hegel, Marx, and the contemporary dialectical tradition provides the field within which a philosophy of mediation and real determination is developed.
