Abstract

I asked Fink to repeat what he said the other evening, namely that simple iteration was impossible, save in the reflective iteration — "Ich denke, dass ich denke usw."⁴⁷ He amplified by saying that "ich phantasiere, dass ich phantasiere usw."⁴⁸ is no iteration, but rather a Phantasieren 〈phantasying〉 in the Phantasie 〈phantasy〉.
