- c-nietzsche-subject-as-condition-of-thinking-is-falsificationA thought comes when "it" wills, not when "I" will; to call the subject "I" the condition of the predicate "think" falsifies the facts draft
- c-nietzsche-subject-inferred-by-grammatical-habitThe subject of thinking is inferred by grammatical habit: thinking is an activity, every activity has someone active, consequently draft

- c-schopenhauer-kant-grounds-thing-in-itself-on-causal-inferenceKant grounds the presupposition of the thing in itself on an inference by the law of causality from sensation to an external cause draft

- c-schopenhauer-kant-showed-laws-and-world-conditioned-by-subjects-mode-of-cognitionKant showed the laws of experience, and with them the world itself, to be conditioned by the subject's mode of cognition, so that along their guiding thread one comes no step toward the essence of the world in itself draft
