Notes to Pages 322—328 493- Kant, Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science, p. im (Ak 4, p. 47411). The
footnote must have been added either in December of 1785 or early in 1786. - Hamann, Briefwechsel,Vl, p. 349; see also p. 338.
- Rink, Ansichten, p. 82.
- The literature is vague on the date of Green's death (1786 or 1787). I am grate¬
ful to Dr. Lindemann-Stark for information about the exact date (based on Alt-
preussische Biographie, I, p. 229). - Hamann to Jacobi on May 26, 1786; see Hamann, Briefwechsel, VI, p. 401.
- Jachmann, Kant, p. 163. Jachmann should have known, because both he and his
brother had also been friends of Green. - Hamann, Briefwechsel, VII, pp. iO4f., wrote on January 30, 1787: "I ate at Jacobi's
together with Kant, who intends to prepare his own household, and his head is
full with this. Crispus [Kraus] is to be his companion.. ." - Hamann, Briefwechsel, VII, p. 148.

- See Voigt, Kraus, pp. 264^
- Jachmann, Kant, p. 186, said that these were the people who came to Kant's din¬
ners "until 1794." I have left out Kraus, whom he also mentioned, since he did
not come after 1790, and because he was not really a guest before then. - Reusch, Tischfreunde, p. 11.

- Jacobi, Werke, II, p. 308: "The very word 'sensibility' does not make sense, if we
do not mean a distinct and real medium between two realities, and if the con¬
ceptions of externality and connection, of active and passive, of causality and
dependency are not already contained as real and objective determinations in it;
and contained in it in such a way that the absolute universality and necessity of
these conceptions as prior presuppositions is given at the very same time." - Jacobi, Werke, II, p. 309.
- Jacobi, Werke, II, p. 304. Herder later followed Hamann and Jacobi's lead, saying
that Kant created too many artificial distinctions. In his Vernunft und Sprache.
Eine Metakritik zur Kritik der reinen Vernunft of 1799, he characterized Kant's
philosophy as a "splitting" (zerspaltende) one, as a "philosophia schismatica."
Wherever Kant looks, antinomies and splits arise; dichotomies are the work of
critical philosophy. - For a short summary, see Beiser, The Fate of Reason, pp. 159—164. Beiser does,
