ABSTRACT
In consequence of Kantian philosophy it is no longer an aeterna veritas, but rather merely form, which is essentially cerebral and originally a mere instrument in the service of the will, which it presupposes along with all its objectifications. For any possibility of cognizance at all, with its most essential, therefore constantly necessary form of subject and object, pertains merely to the phenomenon, not to the essence in itself of things. Likewise, the human being has been spoken of from the most ancient times as the microcosm. It has reversed the proposition and shown the world to be the macrohuman, to the extent that will and presentation exhaust the latter's as well as the former's essence. Accordingly, ethics has a secure fundament and gets carried out to completion in accord with sublime and profoundly thoughtful religions, that is, Brahmanism, Buddhism, and Christianity, not merely with Judaism and Islam.
