“
‘Beziehen’ ist (fundiert) dann (und nur dann) schlechthin absolut und ist als solches es selbst, wenn und sofern es sich bestimmen läßt als die Einheit der Einzigkeit oder Identität seines Selbstbezugs mit dem Grundsein für anderes in der Weise, daß diese Einheit noch einmal – und sachlich vorweg (a priori) – Bezug selber ist: und zwar so, daß genau das in der Zweiheit (Mehrheit, grundlegender Vielheit) der beiden Aspekte von strengem Selbstbezug oder Einzigkeit und Fremdbezug oder Mehrheit (der Relate, Resultate, der Vielen ‘als Plural’) gesetzte, immanent gültige Moment eines totaleren Selbstvollzugs: als Einheit (dieses Bezugsganzen) sich vollziehend gedacht ist.

Harald Holz: Einführung in die Transzendentalphilosophie or: Why Academic Philosophy has a Bad Rap.

My sincere apologies to the English speaking audience. I tried to translate this appealingly horrible sentence but failed miserably. Then again, the google translation isn’t really worse than the original.

A.C. emails to say that he has re-classified all his philosophy books in order of their significance to him. So at the moment the top place in the shelf goes to Sartre and the bottom to Locke. But all this could change as his life moves on. He has already had to promote Kierkegaard from the third to the second shelf following the breakdown of his second marriage.

In the profane understanding, anyone who is also interested in the latest German writing is a Kantian. In the scholarly understanding, a Kantian is only he who believes that Kant is the truth and that, if the mail coach from Königsberg were ever to have an accident one might well find oneself without the truth for some weeks.
