Note 3 — THE MONIST.

It should be understood that in the previous discussion so far as it relates to Kant, I have taken him at his lowest terms—those of logical self-consistency. So far as Kant does not succeed in freeing himself from his original position—the existence of a formal, or apart, faculty of thought—so far his emphasis of the a priori in the sense already attributed to him is inevitable. But that the tendency of Kant is to make the thought-relations a priori simply in the sense of being fact’s own anatomy and physiognomy I should not deny.
