- Robin Schott, Cognition and Eros: A Critique of the Kantian Paradigm (Boston:
Beacon Press, 1988), criticizes Kant for views he did not hold. Ursula Pia Jauch,
Immanuel Kant zur Geschlechterdifferenz. Aufklärerische und bürgerliche Geschlechter¬
vormundschaft (Vienna: Passagen Verlag, 1988) appreciates some aspects of Kant's
views while criticizing him rather harshly for his views on marriage. - See Ak 10, pp. 4-6, and Ak 13, pp. 4f.
- Borowski, Leben, p. 42.
- Hamann, Briefwechsel, I, p.362. Compare Johann Georg Hamann, Hamann's So-
cratic Memorabilia, translated with commentary by James C. O'Flanerty (Baltimore:
Johns Hopkins University Press, 1967), p. 56, and Kant, Correspondence, tr. Zweig,
P-35- - Hamann, Briefwechsel, I, p. 373.
- Kant, Correspondence, tr. Zweig, pp. 4if.
- The full title reads: Socratic Memorabilia, Compiled for the Boredom of the Public by a
lover of Boredom. With a Double Dedication to Nobody and to 7H?<? (Amsterdam, 1759). - Hamann, Socratic Memorabilia, p. 167.
- The concluding paragraph of section 10 of Hume's first Enquiry might indeed
suggest such a reading. - David Hume, Enquiries Concerning Human Understanding and Concerning the
Principles of Morals, 3rd ed., ed. L. A. Selby-Bigge, rev. P. H. Nidditch (Oxford:
Clarendon Press, 1975), p. 131. There is a historical case to be made that Hume
actually had a great influence on this Kierkegaardian conception, at least indi¬
rectly. His discussions of belief in the Treatise and the Enquiry influenced Hamann
and Jacobi in their conception of faith. Especially Jacobi liked to talk of a "salto
mortale" into faith. Kierkegaard knew Hamann and Jacobi. For more on this, see
Philip Merlan, "From Hume to Hamann," The Personalist 32 (1951), pp. 11-18,
"Hamann et les Dialogues de Hume," Revue de Metaphysique 59 (1954), pp. 285-
289; "Kant, Hamann-Jacobi and Schelling on Hume," Rivista critica di storia
filosofia 22 (1967), pp. 343-351. - Hume, Enquiry, pp. 1291". Later exploited by Jacobi in the Pantheismusstreit (see
pp. 305-309 of this volume). - Vorländer and others claim that Kant had asked Hamann to help him in writing
this book some time after the encounter of Berens and Kant with Hamann at the
latter's house. This seems highly unlikely. Kant may have proposed such collabo¬
ration at that meeting in the same context in which he suggested that Hamann
translate parts of the Encyclopedic, and as an attempt to reconvert Hamann. It is
unlikely that he approached Hamann later. In any case, Lindner knows through
Berens of Kant's plan, as the letter of December 26 shows (Ak 10, p. 25).
