  3. His friend Funk had published in Danzig a book that had not passed censorship
    in Königsberg during the occupation, and this was not taken well. See Hamann,
    Briefwechsel, II, p. 52.

  6. Kant, Theoretical Philosophy, 1753-1770, p. 272 (Ak 2, p. 299): Kant argues that
    "just as nothing follows from the primary formal principles of our judgments of
    truth except when primary material grounds are given, so also no particular def¬
    inite obligations follow from these two rules except when indemonstrable material
    principles of practical knowledge are connected with them." He believes the con¬
    verse to be true as well.

  7. Paul Arthur Schilpp, in Kant's Pre-critical Ethics, 2nd ed. (Evanston: Northwest¬
    ern University Press, 1960), pp. 22-40, is perhaps too eager to disprove all that
    Menzer had to say about the British influence on Kant. In any case, he does not
    pay enough attention to the skeptical note on which Kant closes.

  18. Kant, Theoretical Philosophy, 1755-1770, p. lix. The editors think only of the for¬

    legen."

  25. Weymann, Bedenklichkeiten, pp. I2f. He later says: "It is not appropriate to doubt
    principles which God has implanted in us. Because of this the Idealists have be¬
    come a laughing stock."
