1. Immanuel Kant, Opus Postumum, 7th fascicle, leaf 1, 1 (vol. 22, 4 of the Prussian Academy edition), my translation. This passage and those providing the epigraphs to the next two subsections are not included in the English selections from the Opus Postumum (ed. Eckhart Förster [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993]). They can be found in the French edition by François Marty (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, 1986), 121, 124. A number of contingent possibilities of reading that were available in the French edition of this book are difficult to maintain in this English version: The standard French translation of Kant’s Leitfaden, “le fil conducteur,” can be taken not only as a “guiding thread” but as a “conductive wire,” which motivated the three subtitles of this section (la phase, le neutre, la terre) in terms of the three wires in a standard household alternating current cable.
