Lotze

I have read several times over your reply to Lotze, and your reply to my letter.

In his solution Lotze uses two metaphors: one derived from building operations, the other from traveling.

Now, Lotze is committed once for all to the notion that thought, in any form, is directed by and at an outside reality.

I do not emphasize these considerations, which belong, as one sees, to the question of local signs raised by Lotze.
