Reviewed by: Baumgarten's Aesthetics: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives ed. by J. Colin McQuillan Emine Hande Tuna J. Colin McQuillan, editor. Baumgarten's Aesthetics: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2021. Pp. viii + 364. Hardcover, $130.00. Contemporary philosophers have often overlooked the originality and impact of Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten's views on aesthetics, and his contribution to the field is often reduced to his introduction of the term 'aesthetics' into the philosophical lexicon. By illuminating the seminal character of Baumgarten's aesthetics and its enduring significance, J. Colin McQuillan's collection of twelve essays endeavors to rectify this neglect, particularly within the anglophone philosophical community. The collection aims to make recent scholarship on Baumgarten's aesthetics more accessible, with translated works from German scholars and their English counterparts presented in a single volume to entice anglophone readers. It stands as the first collection of essays devoted to Baumgarten's aesthetics to be published in English. Through the essays contained in this volume, readers are offered a comprehensive overview of Baumgarten's aesthetic theory and its progression as well as a deeper understanding of his substantial and influential contributions to the field. The collection begins with a comprehensive introduction by McQuillan, which provides insightful analysis of the reasons behind Baumgarten's neglected status and a concise biography of the philosopher. McQuillan lucidly summarizes Baumgarten's goals for his new science of aesthetics, the extent to which he was able to accomplish these goals, and what remained unfinished. McQuillan highlights Baumgarten's view that his aesthetics was not just a theoretical exercise, but rather had practical implications, such as the potential to enhance poetry, rhetoric, and other arts, and more generally all sensible cognition. The opening two essays of the collection offer dual perspectives on Baumgarten's aesthetics, one exploring the connection of his theories to the pursuit of establishing art as the presentation or representation of the absolute and the other presenting his aesthetics as modeled on the "art of invention" (ars inveniendi). Ursula Franke's essay contextualizes [End Page 711] Baumgarten's ideas within the historical framework and demonstrates his impact on the development of German idealist aesthetics, but it also serves as a valuable guide for further research on Baumgarten by providing an overview of contemporary research and avenues for engagement with his work. In the second essay, Stefanie Buchenau offers an insightful examination of the relationship between Baumgarten and Cicero, illuminating how the former crafted aesthetics as a new method of invention. The third and fourth essays of the collection have a narrower focus. In his analysis, Matthew McAndrew, following George Friedrich Meier, posits tha
评注:鲍姆加滕的《美学:历史与哲学的视角》,编辑:J.科林·麦克奎兰。鲍姆加滕的美学:历史与哲学的视角。兰哈姆,马里兰州:Rowman & Littlefield, 2021年。Pp. viii + 364。精装书,130.00美元。当代哲学家经常忽视亚历山大·戈特利布·鲍姆加滕关于美学观点的原创性和影响,他对这一领域的贡献通常被归结为他将“美学”一词引入哲学词汇。通过阐明鲍姆加滕美学的开创性特征及其持久的意义,J.科林·麦克奎兰的十二篇论文集试图纠正这种忽视,特别是在英语哲学界。这本合集的目的是让鲍姆加滕美学方面的最新学术研究更容易获得,它将德国学者和英国学者的作品翻译成一册,以吸引讲英语的读者。它是第一本以英语出版的关于鲍姆加滕美学的散文集。通过本卷中包含的文章,读者可以全面了解鲍姆加滕的美学理论及其进展,以及对他对该领域的实质性和有影响力的贡献有更深入的了解。这本书以麦克奎兰的全面介绍开始,对鲍姆加滕被忽视的原因进行了深刻的分析,并简要介绍了这位哲学家。McQuillan清晰地总结了鲍姆加滕的美学新科学的目标,他能够实现这些目标的程度,以及仍未完成的内容。McQuillan强调了鲍姆加滕的观点,即他的美学不仅是一种理论练习,而且具有实际意义,例如有可能提高诗歌、修辞和其他艺术,以及更普遍的所有感性认知。这本文集的开头两篇文章提供了鲍姆加滕美学的双重视角,一篇探讨了他的理论与追求将艺术作为绝对的呈现或表现的联系,另一篇则以“发明的艺术”(ars invenendi)为模型展示了他的美学。乌苏拉·弗兰克(Ursula Franke)的文章将鲍姆加滕的思想置于历史框架中,并展示了他对德国唯心主义美学发展的影响,但它也为进一步研究鲍姆加滕提供了有价值的指导,概述了当代研究和参与他的工作的途径。在第二篇文章中,Stefanie Buchenau对鲍姆加滕和西塞罗之间的关系进行了深刻的考察,阐明了前者如何将美学作为一种新的发明方法。文集的第三篇和第四篇文章的侧重点较窄。在他的分析中,马修·麦克安德鲁(Matthew McAndrew)继乔治·弗里德里希·迈耶(George Friedrich Meier)之后,认为鲍姆加滕尽管似乎提出了两种相互冲突的美定义——一种将美归因于认知对象,另一种归因于认知本身——但只坚持了前者的定义。与之前试图调和两种定义的解释不同,麦克安德鲁拒绝将美定义为感性认知的完美。安吉莉卡·努佐认为鲍姆加滕对真理有着多元的理解,并区分了美学真理和逻辑真理。她考察了鲍姆加滕的审美真理观,认为理解诗歌如何体现和融合审美真理是必要的。根据Nuzzo的说法,Baumgarten认为美学真理是具体化的。在第五篇文章中,西蒙·格罗特深入探讨了鲍姆加滕美学的神学渊源。Grote声称Baumgarten对美学的定义受到了Halle Pietists对aisthēsis定义的影响。事实上,他声称,看到虔诚派和鲍姆加滕之间的这种联系,对于充分把握鲍姆加滕早期美学理论的伦理维度至关重要。像许多哈雷派教徒一样,鲍姆加滕提出了一种道德教育的概念,即通过正确使用感性能力来改善人类的情感。在接下来的文章中,McQuillan研究了鲍姆加滕的美学方面,这些方面使他有别于他的理性主义前辈克里斯蒂安·沃尔夫。麦克奎兰挑战了将鲍姆加滕描绘成沃尔夫式理性主义者的正统观点,他认为鲍姆加滕限制了沃尔夫数学方法的应用,限制了逻辑的范围,区分了理性和智力的完美,分离了沃尔夫想要统一的东西。在他的贡献中,亚历山德罗…

abstract: Anaxagoras is notorious for his view that every perception is accompanied by pain but that not all concurrent pains are distinctly felt by the perceiving subject. This thesis is reported and criticized by Aristotle's heir Theophrastus in his De Sensibus . Traditionally, scholars believe that Theophrastus rejects Anaxagoras's thesis of the ubiquity of pain as counterintuitive, with the appeal to unfelt pain looking like a desperate category mistake given that pain is nothing but a feeling. Contra the traditional view, this paper argues that Theophrastus neither aims to defend ordinary phenomenology nor is bothered by the concept of unfelt pain; instead, he develops a series of new Aristotelian arguments to defend a controversial, optimistic picture about the distribution of affective qualities in animal life. More than a supplement to Aristotle's psychology, his engagement with Anaxagoras reveals an important yet often ignored ethical concern behind the Peripatetic philosophy of perception.

abstract: Mary Wollstonecraft is an early and important critic of Adam Smith, engaging with his Theory of Moral Sentiments in her Vindication of the Rights of Woman . Given Wollstonecraft's arguments against moralists who "give a sex to virtue," what did she make of Smith's use of gender-coded language and the oft-cited passage where he claims that "humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity of a man" ( TMS IV.2.10)? This paper revisits the scholarly debate over gender essentialism in Smith, arguing that Smith's view of virtue is not gender essentialist, and that Wollstonecraft saw this and did not target Smith with her critique. Instead, Wollstonecraft affirms Smith's claims, leveraging them in order to advocate for educational and social reform. Reading these texts together corrects the tenacious reading of Smith as a gender essentialist, while also illuminating the differences between Smith's and Wollstonecraft's conceptions of self-control.

Reviewed by: Boethii Daci Aliorumque Sophismata by Boethius of Dacia Julie Brumberg-Chaumont Boethius of Dacia. Boethii Daci Aliorumque Sophismata. Edited by Sten Ebbesen and Irène Rosier-Catach. Corpus Philosophorum Danicorum Medii Aevi, 9. Odense: University Press of Southern Denmark, 2021. Pp. 624. Hardback, 400.00 DKK. This volume offers a reliable and accurate scholarly edition of two collections of thirteenthcentury sophismata (logical and grammatical puzzles) contained in ms. Brugge, Stedelijke Openbare Bibliotheek 509 (=B) and ms. Firenze, Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana 12 sin. 3 (=F). Taken together, these two collections constitute a set of twenty-three sophismata called "Sophismata Florentino-Brugensia" in the catalogue published by Sten Ebbesen and Frédéric Goubier (A Catalogue of Thirteenth-Century Sophismata [Paris: Vrin, 2010]). These sophismata were previously available only in partial editions. Specifically, the two versions of the sophisma "Omnis homo de necessitate est animal," previously both ascribed to Boethius of Dacia, were partially edited from F by Grabmann in 1940 and from B by Roos in 1962. Other sophismata in this collection have been previously edited by Ebbesen, but their editions should now be considered "obsolete," according to the editor himself (9). Each sophisma is identified by an S followed by a number (S1, S2, etc.). In turn, each sophisma deals with several issues or problems, each one of which is identified by a P followed by a number (P1, P2, etc.). The volume is very usefully completed by an index of explicit and implicit references to other works and an index of parallel passages, both compiled by Kristian Thomsen Purreskov (591–601). Finally, this edition is accompanied by a selective but still rich index of words, where special attention has been dedicated to the sophismata by Boethius of Dacia (603–24). All the material is presented in a clear and accurate way. There are only a few minor material errors (specifically, the running titles for problems in S4 are messy; at 33, "a*" should be read as "b*"; at 49, "S14" should be read as "S18"). Sten Ebbesen is the sole editor of all sophismata except for the three that deal with grammatical subjects, for which Irène Rosier-Catach is the main editor, with Ebbesen serving as a coeditor. Concerning the authorship of each sophisma, Ebbesen follows the indications contained in F, but he also provides some independent discussions (24–26). Thus, he ascribes two sophismata to Boethius of Dacia, ten to Peter of Auvergne, one to an otherwise unknown Nicholas of Normandy, and the remaining ten to anonymous masters. They are listed in detail in the "Index sophismatum et problematum" (65–69). After a summary of the contents of the volume, Ebbesen's introduction contains five sections of different lengths: first, a history of the edition (7–9); second, a general description of the structure and functioning of sophismata (9–13); third, a description of the seven manuscr

abstract: I provide a novel interpretation of Aristotle's account of the unity of soul, treating it as resolving the apparent incompatibility of the existence of psychic parts and the soul's status as a unifying form. This incompatibility, I contend, rests on a problematic assumption: mereological actualism, or the claim that parts are actually distinct and prior to the whole. Aristotle successfully undermines actualism and formulates an alternative conception of parthood within De Anima 's figure-soul analogy. As triangles are only potentially present within quadrilaterals, so lower psychic parts are potential parts of higher souls. This picture treats a soul not as a mere aggregate of capacities, but as essentially unified and prior to its parts. Finally, I argue that this picture can be illuminated and must be read against the background of his hylomorphic account of the unity of form given in Metaphysics H.6.

Noétique et Métaphysique chez Dietrich de Freiberg. Paris: Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin, 2021. Pp. 336. Paperback, $48.00. Dietrich of Freiberg's theory of the constitutive power of the intellect, as presented in his De origine rerum praedicamentalium, has proved unusually resistant to contextualization within the philosophical and theological discussions at the University of Paris in the last two decades of the thirteenth century. There is little indication in the quodlibet literature that any of his contemporaries were aware of his unusual doctrine, let alone interested in responding to it, and Dietrich himself provides few hints as to which quaestiones of contemporary interest he is responding to. One therefore welcomes this study by Véronique Decaix in which it is argued that "il est irréfutable que les concepts centraux du De origine ont été forgés dans une discussion permanente avec Henri de Gand" (223). Drawing upon and developing the work of Pasquale Porro, Jan Aersten, and others, Decaix establishes Dietrich's indebtedness to Henry of Ghent, all while providing a comprehensive and remarkably clear, detailed, and precise presentation of Dietrich's theory of the constitutive power of the intellect. [End Page 706] Particularly noteworthy is the manner in which Decaix clarifies that there are several distinct ways in which the intellect, on Dietrich's theory, exercises its constitutive power. Thus, for instance, "categorial constitution," whereby certain relations and the six posterior relative categories are constituted, is distinguished from "quidditative constitution," wherein a real natural thing is constituted in its quidditative being, which is at the same time the mode or manner in which the intellect constitutes its own proper object. Decaix clarifies that such modes of constitution differ not only with respect to what is constituted, but by the kind of causality exercised by the intellect. Categorial constitution is a kind of formal causality—because it concerns only accidents, and because intellect grasps these accidents "sur une modalité déduite d'un élément extrinsèque" (284)—whereas quidditative constitution is efficient—it is "plus fondamentale, car elle est plus essentielle et plus intérieure" and "s'exerce sur la forme substantielle et cause l'étant en tant qu'étant" (286). In either case, whether the mode of constitution is categorial or quidditative, Decaix makes clear that constitution is not creation, and does not pertain to the reality or absolute entity of the thing affected by the intellect's constitutive power. Rather, constitution in the relevant sense here entails introducing and imposing upon the real natural thing a new mode of being: with respect to categorial constitution, that mode of being is ad aliud (to be in relation to another); with respect

Vrin哲学图书馆,2021。336页。平装,48.00美元。弗莱伯格的智力构成力理论的迪特里希,在他的《论本源论》(De origine rerum praedicamentalium)中提出,在13世纪最后20年巴黎大学的哲学和神学讨论中,被证明对语境化有着不同寻常的抵制。在二手文学中,几乎没有迹象表明他的同时代人意识到他的不寻常的学说,更不用说有兴趣回应它了,而迪特里希本人也没有提供多少暗示,说明他正在回应哪些当代感兴趣的问题。因此,人们欢迎vsamronique Decaix的这项研究,在这项研究中,他认为“在与Henri De Gand的永久讨论中,将无法确定是否存在不确定的概念,而不能确定是否存在不确定的概念”(223)。德凯借鉴并发展了帕斯夸莱·波尔罗、扬·阿尔斯滕等人的著作,确立了迪特里希对根特亨利的亏欠,同时全面、清晰、详细、准确地阐述了迪特里希关于智力构成力的理论。特别值得注意的是,德凯在书中阐明,在迪特里希的理论中,智力有几种不同的方式来行使其构成力量。因此,例如,“范畴构成”,即构成某些关系和六个后向相对范畴的“范畴构成”,与“本质构成”是有区别的,“本质构成”是一个真实的自然事物在其本质存在中被构成,而本质存在同时也是智力构成其自身固有客体的模式或方式。德凯澄清说,这些构成模式的不同之处不仅在于构成的内容,还在于智力所运用的因果关系。范畴构成是一种形式的因果关系——因为它只涉及偶然事件,而且因为智力掌握了这些偶然事件“sur une modalit dsamuite d'un samuement extrins”(284)——而基础构成是有效的——它是“加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,加上基本的,”和“我们的实践,确定了形式的实质,所以导致了1’samutant en tant qu’samutant”(286)。在这两种情况下,无论构成模式是范畴的还是基础的,德凯都清楚地表明,构成不是创造,也不属于受智力构成力影响的事物的现实或绝对实体。反之,这里的规定,就其相关的意义而言,就是在现实的自然事物上,引入并强加一种新的存在方式。就范畴规定而言,这种存在方式是与另一事物相联系的。就本质构成而言,被建构的存在方式是本质存在。德凯认为,迪特里希在根特的亨利提供的框架内有意识地发展了他的范畴关系理论。在其他因素中,她引用了迪特里希对范畴关系的分析,将其与德凯所称的“精确的矛盾”(154)总结为亨利的《论文集》第九卷第3题:“Utrum circumscripta re sui fundamenti relations possit signari per nomen primae impositionis?”迪特里希实际上是这样回答的:“我认为,如果我的理论是完全正确的,那么我的理论是完全正确的,我的理论是完全正确的,我的理论是完全正确的,我的理论是完全正确的。”亨利的《辩证法九》中的第三个问题对德凯的观点来说更为重要。因为她在这里看到的不仅仅是迪特里希关于智力构成力量学说的萌芽。正如德凯所解释的,除了自然界所提供的实在的基础(量或质)和理智所提供的纯粹的关系的比例之外,亨利还引入了一种特性方式,即基础的特殊性质(如长度或颜色)使纯粹关系的一般概念特化(157-58)。因此,真实的、特殊的关系,例如,“短于”或“类似于”,只产生于自然和智力作为共同贡献的原因。在这个…

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2021. Pp. 300. Hardcover, $99.99. In this lengthy book, Daniel Sutherland proposes to rectify our long neglect of Kant's theory of mathematics by means of both historical and systematic analyses. This is a worthy undertaking, since the scope and significance of that theory were lost from view during the twentieth century. In fact, the theory of mathematics spans the first several hundred pages of the first Critique. In the Transcendental Aesthetic, the pure unquantified homogeneous multiplicities of space and time are posited as structures of human perception. The Analytic begins by defining 'number' set-theoretically, as a property of sets of elements that can be linearly ordered, while explicating the concept of a set (Menge) in terms of pure logic, augmented by the abstract concept of a multiplicity. In the Axioms of Intuition, the concept of space "as it is required in geometry" is defined as the concept of a continuous extended geometrical magnitude, that is to say, a homogeneous manifold whose elements can be described by a coordinate system. In the Antinomies of the Dialectic, Kant addresses problems of completeness and incompleteness, which emerge when we try to extend this concept ad infinitum, and so follows through on Leibniz's distinction between finitary and infinitary proofs. Finally, in the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science (1786), Kant turns to the applied mathematical foundations of Eulerian mechanics, producing a relativistic derivation of the sine law for the composition of velocities. By attaching his theory to the structures that guided physicists and mathematicians over the next century, Kant ensured his own work would be carried on the wave. The topics just mentioned were taken up, criticized, and modified by Helmholtz, Klein, Cournot, Hamilton, Frege, Cantor, Russell, Hilbert, Poincaré, Einstein, Wittgenstein, and Weyl. This theory was, in other words, the backbone of the nineteenth-century tradition that became what we today call "philosophy of science" and "philosophy of mathematics." Unfortunately, Sutherland's book says nothing about that theory, nor about the traditions that preceded it or followed in its wake. In fact, if Sutherland's interpretation is correct, Kant's project cannot succeed. For Sutherland, it is essential to our understanding of Kant, and of eighteenth-century science and mathematics more generally, that we recognize that period as essentially Hellenistic. It is fundamentally different from what he calls "our modern" point of view, according to which mathematics is a science of number, which only emerged "over the course of the nineteenth century" (4–6).

Reviewed by: The Bounds of Self: An Essay on Heidegger's by R. Matthew Shockey Nicolai Knudsen R. Matthew Shockey. The Bounds of Self: An Essay on Heidegger's Being and Time. New York: Routledge, 2021. Pp. 224. Hardcover, $160.00. In this rich and ambitious book, R. Matthew Shockey controversially claims that Heidegger's Being and Time (SZ) is an heir to the rationalism of Descartes and Kant. To show this, Shockey develops a provocative account of phenomenological ontology as the normatively inert outcome of reflective and imaginative philosophical self-questioning. Four questions of an increasingly higher order frame the book (2–6): (1) How shall I live? (2) What is it to be the kind of being who can and must ask "how shall I live?" (3) What unity is there to the various ways in which things are taken to be? (4) Why should we pursue metaphysics and ontology? Chapters 1–6 reconstruct Heidegger's answers to the second- and third-order questions, while chapter 7 relates them back to the questions of the first- and fourth-order. The key claim is that Heidegger was a "Kantian Cartesian." Shockey, however, admits that Heidegger was not "driven by a need to refute skepticism, a proponent of a worldly subjectivism, a representationalist epistemologist, or a substance dualist" (9). Rather, the claim is that Heidegger follows Kant and Descartes in believing, first, that ontology must identify a form of "a priori knowledge" as the basis of intelligibility and, second, that ontological inquiry requires a deliberate, reflective, and self-questioning method. The argument rests on a reconstruction of the published parts of SZ as involving a series of meditative steps that are supposed to take us from the analytic of Dasein (the second-order question) to the meaning of being (the third-order question). Chapter 1 explains why the Seinsfrage (the third-order question) requires the analytic of Dasein (the second-order question) and argues that ontology requires that we abstract from all our ontical characteristics (i.e. all the things that make me, me and you, you) insofar as the aim of ontology is to identify the "bounds" that are shared by any ontological inquirer (47). This, Shockey claims, makes Heidegger's existential analytics critical in a roughly Kantian way and meditational in a roughly Cartesian way (31, 47). Chapter 2 follows the analysis of worldhood and being-with in introducing us to three regions of entities that we are not: the ready-to-hand, the present-at-hand, and other Dasein. The next chapters turn away from our understanding of "outward" entities and initiates a series of "inward" meditative steps supposed to clarify the unitary and a priori basis rendering [End Page 718] these regions intelligible. Chapter 3 analyzes the first meditative step, namely, Heidegger's account of being-in and the trinity of understanding, discourse, and self-finding that constitute the structure of care. Chapter 4 shows, in a second step, that the care structure i

Matthew Shockey)颇具争议地声称,海德格尔的《存在与时间》(SZ)继承了笛卡尔和康德的理性主义。为了证明这一点,肖基将现象学本体论描述为反思和想象的哲学自我质疑的规范性惰性结果。书中有四个越来越重要的问题:(1)我该如何生活?(2)成为那种能够而且必须问“我该如何生活”的人是什么感觉?(3)事物被认作存在的各种方式之间有什么统一性呢?(4)我们为什么要追求形而上学和本体论?第1-6章重构了海德格尔对二阶和三阶问题的回答,而第7章则将其与一阶和四阶问题联系起来。关键的主张是海德格尔是一个“康德式的笛卡尔主义者”。然而,肖基承认,海德格尔并非“被需要驳斥怀疑论、世俗主观主义的支持者、表征主义的认识论家或实体二元论所驱使”(9)。相反,他的主张是,海德格尔遵循康德和笛卡尔的信念,首先,本体论必须确定一种形式的“先验知识”作为可解性的基础,其次,本体论的探究需要一种深思熟虑的、反思的和自我质疑的方法。这个论点建立在对SZ已出版部分的重建之上,它涉及一系列沉思的步骤,这些步骤应该把我们从对此在的分析(二阶问题)带到存在的意义(三阶问题)。第一章解释了为什么Seinsfrage(三阶问题)需要对此因(二阶问题)进行分析,并论证了本体论要求我们从我们所有的本体论特征(即所有构成我、我和你、你的东西)中抽象出来,因为本体论的目的是识别任何本体论调查者共有的“界限”(47)。肖基声称,这使得海德格尔的存在分析以一种大致康德式的方式进行批判,以一种大致笛卡尔式的方式进行冥想(31,47)。第二章在对世界和存在的分析之后,向我们介绍了我们不是的实体的三个区域:现成的、现在的、手头的和其他此在。接下来的章节从我们对“外在”实体的理解转向,并开始了一系列“内在”的冥想步骤,旨在澄清统一和先验的基础,使这些区域变得可理解。第三章分析了沉思的第一步,即海德格尔对存在的描述,以及构成关怀结构的理解、话语和自我发现的三位一体。第四章在第二步中表明,原始时间性统一了关怀结构。肖基认为,原始的时间性是此在自发赋予自身的必要的时间形式。海德格尔在这一点上放弃了SZ计划,但肖基雄心勃勃地承诺完成它,在第5章中,展示海德格尔如何在康德的想象概念中找到最后的沉思步骤。在海德格尔对康德的有争议的解释中,想象是知性和感性的共同根源,更重要的是,它是对他自己的原始时间性概念的一种期待。肖基解释说,想象力是一种“把缺失的东西呈现出来”的一般能力(141)。基于这一论点,肖基得出结论:“在做本体论时,我们想象自己在想象存在”(148)。在重构了最后的、缺失的沉思步骤之后,肖基在第六章中提出了他认为的SZ未被书写(或被抛弃)的部分的故事,也就是说,笛卡尔和康德,当被视为本体论家而不是认识论家时,声称存在的统一性位于我们先验的本体论(自我)理解中是正确的,尽管他们没有意识到这种统一是想象的和时间的,而不是实质性的或逻辑的,而且可解性的先验基础开辟了几个不同的区域……
