The law of causality, the sensation and space are each of subjective origin
By Kant's own correct discovery the law of causality is known to us a priori, hence a function of our intellect and of subjective origin; the sensation to which it is applied is undeniably subjective; and space, into which the cause of the sensation is transferred as object, is an a priori given, subjective form of our intellect.
Nun aber ist, nach seiner eigenen und richtigen Entdeckung, das Gesetz der Kausalität uns a priori bekannt, folglich eine Funktion unsers Intellekts, also subjektiven Ursprungs; ferner ist die Sinnesempfindung selbst, auf welche wir hier das Kausalitätsgesetz anwenden, unleugbar subjektiv, und endlich sogar der Raum, in welchen wir mittelst dieser Anwendung die Ursache der Empfindung als Objekt versetzen, ist eine a priori gegebene, folglich subjektive Form unsers Intellekts.
Now however, according to his own correct discovery, the law of causality is known to us a priori, consequently a function of our intellect, hence of subjective origin; further, the sensation itself, to which we here apply the law of causality, is undeniably subjective, and finally even space, into which by means of this application we transfer the cause of the sensation as object, is an a priori given, consequently subjective form of our intellect.
Anhang, ZA II 534: »Nun aber ist, nach seiner eigenen und richtigen Entdeckung, das Gesetz der Kausalität uns a priori bekannt, folglich eine Funktion unsers Intellekts, also subjektiven Ursprungs; ferner ist die Sinnesempfindung selbst ... unleugbar subjektiv, und endlich sogar der Raum ... ist eine a priori gegebene, folglich subjektive Form unsers Intellekts.« The three items are the three materials of the inference the previous claim attributes to Kant: its law, its starting point and the place of its result. The shared premise with Kant is the third item, on space: »a priori gegebene« beside A 24 / B 38 (c-kant-space-a-priori) and »subjektive Form« beside A 26 / B 42, conclusion (b), »die subjective Bedingung der Sinnlichkeit« (c-kant-space-subjective-condition-of-sensibility); Kant's word there is sensibility, Schopenhauer's intellect, and the comparison words the premise on what both assert.
Shares premise with
- c-kant-space-a-prioriSpace is a necessary a priori representation and a pure a priori intuition
- c-kant-space-subjective-condition-of-sensibilitySpace is the form of all appearances of outer sense, the subjective condition of sensibility, and as such can be given a priori in the mind
