I.
PROFESSOR VAIHINGER ON KANT'S
DOCTRINE OF THE TWO WORLDS AND
ITS RELATION TO SWEDENBORG.
In his Commentary on "Kant's Transcendental Æsthetic, Lecture i. on Space,"[1] where the problem is under discussion whether space be (i.) purely Objective and a posteriori (Newton), or (ii.) purely subjective and a priori (Kant), or (iii.) according to Treudelenburg's "Third Possibility," at once Objective and Subjective (Leibnitz), Professor Vaihinger introduces a note on Lambert's suggestion. "Our space is a simulacrum of true space" (Lambert's Recension, 1773, on Herz Betrachtungen, Allg. Deut. Bibli. 20, 228), and quotes Lambert's letter to Kant, 1770:
- ↑ Commentar zu Kants Kritik der Reinen Vernunft, by Dr. H. Vaihinger, A. O. Professor der Philosophic an der Universitaet Halle. Motto: Die Schriften Kants sind doch einmal der Codex, den man nie in philosophischen Angelegenheiten, so wenig als das Corpus juris in juristischon aus der Hand legen darf. W. v. Humboldt. Zweiter Hand. Stuttgart, Berlin, Leipzig. Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft. 1892.
