Kurze Encyklopädie der Philosophie

However, for anyone who might want to attack the metaphysics on the grounds of its understandability, the same review would turn into a cautionary fact; just as was the case earlier regarding the mathematical-psychological investigations. For starting from psychology, the kind attention of Professor Drobisch has extended to metaphysics; in such a way that the mere expenditure of time, which mathematicians are known to appreciate very much, is a gift that cannot be sufficiently thanked by the teacher of a foreign subject. Should, however, someone have the desire to make a mountain out of a molehill, such a person might perhaps find material for it in a few small differences; concerning which, for example (though not to argue with the mathematician about the representation of mathematical objects), a word must be added here. After a correct representation of the method of relations, Mr. Drobisch finds an unclear passage right at the end. Naturally, one would have to expect that soon, conversely, where it comes to the application of the method to the problem of inherence, the author would find an unclear report. The misunderstanding would have to grow with the investigation of the main matter built upon it, namely the difference between real and apparent events. But completely so with the teaching dependent on this concerning...
