H. Vaihinger's Kommentar zu Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft, vol. i., 1881, pp. 48-49. This is a work marked by acuteness, great industry, and an objective point of view which merits respect. It would be a most interesting task to trace in the writings which belong to Kant's pre-critical period the growth and development of the fundamental critical positions.
There is first the philosophical revolution which is commonly associated with the name of Kant. If we were to seek with arbitrary exactitude to fix a date for the beginning of this movement, this might be the year of the publication of his first great work, Kritik der reinen Vernunft, in 1781.
Your wife, with whom I have had an interesting conversation, upon the principles of aesthetical philosophy " "My wife! Charlotte! She knows nothing about aesthetical philosophy." "She calls it by another name, but she understands it well enough to illustrate the principles by example. She tells me that labour and duty are so taken up by you 'In den heitern Regionen Wo die reinen Formen wohnen,
The Talmud and Kant's "Kritik der reinen Vernunft" were placed upon the same shelf, and Josephus and Renan's "Life of Jesus" were near neighbors. Time was when the Jew who would have exposed a single work printed in any characters but the ancient Hebrew letters would have been ostracized by his co-religionists.
"In den heitern Regionen Wo die reinen Formen wohnen." From this revery Leonard did not seek to rouse himself, till the bell at the garden gate rang loud and shrill; and then starting up and hurrying into the hall, his hand was grasped in Harley's.
"There is no means whatever by which we can learn anything respecting the constitution of the soul, so far as regards the possibility of its separate existence." Kritik von den Paralogismen der reinen Vernunft. Fifth Edition, revised, 1846.
"In den heitern Regionen Wo die reinen Formen wohnen." From this revery Leonard did not seek to rouse himself, till the bell at the garden gate rang loud and shrill; and then starting up and hurrying into the hall, his hand was grasped in Harley's.
He first made a Prussian proud to be a Prussian. This last quarter of the eighteenth century in Germany saw the death of Lessing in 1781, the publication of Kant's "Kritik der Reinen Vernunft" in the same year, and the death of the great Frederick in 1786. These names mark the physical and intellectual coming of age of Germany.
The western Slavs in general and the sons of Czech in particular, had their flights of fairies, sprites, pixies and other lovable immortals. They are here still; even I, a stranger, claim to have heard them in "den heiteren Regionen, wo die reinen Formen wohnen," on the sun-kissed snow of the mountains, in the whispering voices of the forest and the song of the burn in the glen.
On this point we cannot do better than quote some remarks from Kant's preface to the second edition of his Kritik der reinen Vernunft. But it must not be supposed that it was as easy for mathematics as it was for logic, where reason is concerned with itself alone, to find, or rather to build for itself, that royal road.
