Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The University Chronicle, Vol. 7: An Official Record; 1904-05 Within the last few months the civilized world has been united in commemorating the distinguished philosopher whose life ended at Kouigsberg a hundred years ago, but whose thoughts have been active and fruitful throughout the century that has closed and bid fair to continue their influence in the century that has now begun. In a short article, written in 1786, entitled: Was heisst: sich im Denken orientiren? Kant has provided us with a good starting-point for our present discussion. Sich orientieren, to orientate oneself or find one´s bearings, means, says Kant, "in the literal sense of the words, from a given quarter of the globe, one of the four into which we divide the horizon, to fix the rest, in other words, to determine which is the east. If I see the sun in the sky and know that it is now noon, then I know how to find the south, west, north and east. For this purpose however one thing is indispensable, a ´feeling´ of difference within myself as subject, the difference namely between the right hand and the left. Without this, being in the west say, I should not know whether to locate the south on the right or on the left.
