I know that I have said this before (regarding the use of Logic in philosophy) but I must emphasize its use once again. So I tried to follow one of his arguments, in Remark I (the parts preceding line 288).
He states:
"But if this image, or rather this formal intuition, is the essential property of our sensibility by means of which alone objects are given to us, and if this sensibility represents not things in themselves but their appearances, then we shall easily comprehend, and at the same time indisputably prove, that all external objects of our world of sense must necessarily coincide in the most rigorous way with the propositions of geometry. This is so because sensibility by means of its form of external intuition (space), with which the geometer is concerned, makes those objects possible as mere appearances."
To follow his argument for the above paragraph I will attempt to use what little I know from logic class:
1. E F
2. F S
3. S A
4. A G
5. Conclusion: E G
Well, that looks logically correct to me! ;)
