Abstract

Prefacexi thank Leigh S. Cauman for her fine editorial work and for her generous preparedness to deal with various delays. Finally, I am very greatful to Anne van der Linden for her patience in working through all the drafts of this study, easing my at times painful transition from Dutch to English as my medium of philosophical expression. Hamilton, New York August1987Harry van der Linden NOTE ON REFERENCESMost references to Kant's works are made in abbreviated form, to their English translations. In general, references to his works are followed by the corresponding volume and page numbers from Immanuel Kants Werke, edited by Ernst Cassirer, and published by Bruno Cassirer, Berlin . Single references are given if either no current translation is available or a translated work of Kant is not included in the Cassirer edition. In the case of Critique of Judgment, paragraph numbers are also provided. No changes have been made in the translations except where it is so stated.Abbreviated references to the works of Hermann Cohen are limited to the two of his writings that are most significant for my study. All passages cited in the text and notes from his nontranslated works are my translations unless noted otherwise.Listed below are the abbreviations of the works of Kant and Cohen as employed in the text and notes. All their other cited works can be found in Works Cited.
