Abstract

Our age, oriented towards natural science, sees to it that generalizing, empirical investigations are not neglected in the grammatical field, nor in any other. What is a priori is not so favoured; even though all basic insights lead back to the a priori, our age’s sense for it almost threatens to wither away. (LI, p. 525)
