that the writer, after what he has said before, hils justified in taking the thing for granted. But if we translate, 'Although, therefore, the solution of these problems is unattainable through experience,' we completely change the drift of Kant's reasoning. He wants to take away that very excuse that there exists only some uncertainty in the solution of these problems, by showing that the problems themselves can really never arise, and thereforedo not require a solution at all. Kant repeats the same statement in the same page withstill greater emphasis, when he says: Die dogmatische Auflösung ist also nicht etwaungewiss, sondern unmöglich, i.e. 'Hence the dogmatical solution is not,as you imagine, uncertain, but


it is impossible.' On p. 396 (485), the syntactical structure of the sentence, as well as the intention of the writer, does not allow of our changing the words so ist es klüglich gehandelt, into a question. It is the particle so which requires the transposition of the pronoun (ist es instead of es ist), not the



interrogative character of the whole sentence. On p. 401 (492), wenn cannot be rendered by although, which is wenn auch in German. Wenn beide nach empirischen Gesetzen in einer Erfahrung richtig und durchgängig zusammenhängen means, 'If both have a proper and thorough coherence in an experience, according to empirical laws'; and not,


'Although both have,' etc. Sollen is often used in German to express what, according[xxx] to the opinion of certain people, is meant to be. Thus Kant,on p. 461 (570), speaks of the ideals which painters have in their minds, and die ein nicht mitzutheilendes Schattenbild ihrer Producte oder auch Beurtheilungen sein sollen, that is, 'which, according to the artists' professions, are akind of vague shadows only of their creations and criticisms, which cannot be communicated.' All this is lost, if we translate, 'which can serve neither as a model for production, nor as a standard for appreciation.' It may come



to that in the end, but it is certainly not the way in which Kant arrives at that conclusion. On p. 503 (625), den einzigmöglichen Beweisgrund (wofern überall nur ein speculativer Beweis statt findet) is not incorrectly rendered by 'the only possible ground of proof (possessed by speculative reason)'; yet we lose


the thought implied byKant's way of expression, viz. that the possibility of such a speculative proof is very doubtful. The same applies to an expression which occurs on p.549 (684), ein solches Schema, als ob es ein wirkliches Wesen wäre. Kant speaks of aschema which is conceived to bereal, but is not so, and this implied meaning is blurred



if we translate 'a schema, which requires us to regard this ideal thing as an actual existence.' On p. 572 (712), Kant writes: Methoden, die zwar sonst der Vernunft, aber


nur nicht hier wol anphien. This has been translated: 'The methods which are originated by reason, but which are out of place in this sphere.'


This isnot entirely wrong, but it blurs the exact features of the sentence. What is really meant is: 'Methods which are suitable to reasonin other spheres, only, I believe, not here.' It is curious to observe that Kant, careless as he [xxxi] was in the revision of his text, struck out wol in the Second Edition, because he may have wished to remove even that slight shade of hesitation which is conveyed by that particle. Possibly,



however, wol may refer to anphien, i.e. pulchre convenire, the limitation remaining much the same in either case. Doch is a particle that may be translated in many different ways, but it .
