Notes to Pages 416—419 509
- Wasianski, Kant, p. 23.
- Some of these have survived. See Hermann Degering (ed.), Immanuel Kants Mit¬
tagsbüchlein vom ij. August bis 25. September 1802 (Berlin, 1926). - Wasianski, Kant, p. 231; compare Jachmann, Kant, p. 207, as well as Rink, An¬
sichten, pp. 105-119 (Malter, Kant in Rede und Gespräch, pp. 479-484). - Wasianski, Kant, p. 264; see also Rink, Ansichten, pp. 111 f. Kant hardly ever drank
beer. - Wasianski, Kant, pp. 23if.
- I will not mention most of them, since they add nothing to our understanding of
Kant. A few samples should be sufficient to show that they were signs of senility. - Rink, Ansichten, p. 77; Vorländer, Kant, II, p. 28, claims Motherby died in 1799.
- Jachmann, Kant, p. 163; Ruffmann had died in 1794, Count Keyserlingk in 1788,
and the Countess in 1791 (see Vorländer, Kant, II, p. 28). - Rink to Villers, inVaihinger, "Briefe aus dem Kantkreis," p. 294. He also said that
he had given up any hope that Kant would get better. Yet, Kant was still spend¬
ing three hours at his dinner parties. - Wasianski, Kant, p. 242.
- Ak 12, p. 443. The letter was occasioned by an earlier letter from the rector (No¬
vember 12, 1801), asking for his resignation (Ak 12, p. 442). - Wasianski, Kant, p. 251.
- Wasianski, Kant, p. 253. See also Briefe von und an Scheffner, ed. Warda, II, 401:
"Kant has divorced Lampe by the power of the police." - Wasianski, Kant, p. 257.
- Andrew Cutrofello, Discipline and Critique: Kant, Poststructuralism, and the Prob¬
lem of Resistance (Albany: State University of New York Press, 1994), pp. 103-
115, used this note and Lampe's relationship to Kant in construing a certain
picture of Kant's sexuality. He asks "Did Lampe make some sort of explicit sex¬
ual advance on Kant?" (pp. 1 i2f). He claims that the "imperative to forget the
name of Lampe can be read in the light of Kant's moral condemnation of ho¬
mosexuality. A man who approaches another man sexually no longer deserves to
be a person. If Lampe did approach Kant sexually, Kant would have had a moral
obligation to stop thinking of Lampe as a person" (p. 113). This is pure fantasy
or wish fulfillment. Neither the drunk servant nor the feeble and feeble-minded
Kant had anything of the sort in mind. - Scheffner, Briefe von und an Scheffner, II, p. 379.
