Kant: A Biography

(WallPaper) #1

5io Notes to Pages 419-422



  1. Wasianski, Kant, p. 269: the German words are "Geduld, Sanftmut und Nachsicht."
    Especially the word "Nachsicht" seems revealing to me. It suggests that caring for
    the brother was difficult at times.

  2. Jachmann, Kant, pp. 20if.

  3. Compare pp. 5-6 of this volume.

  4. Wasianski, Kant, p. 276.

  5. Jachmann, Kant, p. 211, speaks of "a nervous stroke" {Schlagfluß). This stroke
    probably had little to do with Kant's constipation, a permanent feature of his
    old age.
