[2] A curious ignorance of the content of the “Spaccio!” There are
numerous other faults of detail in this account.

[4] This image of the Old Testament World is not of course supposed to
be that of the ancient Hebrews. Rather does it represent this world as
reflected in the thought of a modern Christian community.
[5] The individuating quality of love is again discussed in Chap. X, on
“Love and Loyalty.”

jederzeit zugleich als Princip einer allgemeinen Gesetzgebung gelten
könne.” K. d. p. V., 1, 1, 1.
[7] Cf: “In der ganzen Schöpfung kann alles was man will, und vorüber
man etwas vermag, auch _bloss als Mittel_ gebraucht werden; nur der
Mensch ... _Ist Zweck an sich selbst_.... Eben um dieser willen ist
jeder Wille ... auf die Bedingung der Einstimmung mit der _Autonomie_
des vernünftigen Wesens eingeschränkt, es nämlich keiner Absicht zu
unterwerfen, die nicht nach einem Gesetze, welches aus dem Willen des
leidenden Subjects selbst entspringen könnte, möglich ist....” K. d. p.
V., 1, 1, 3.
