Notes regarding WdW II, p. 405b

1. Corresponds to NC II, 471.

2. Direction towards the Gegenstand cannot be explained from the analytical aspect alone.

3. The logical sphere is the anticipatory sphere for pre-logical spheres. Pre-logical or natural spheres are opened by it.

4. There is a pre-disposition to be opened. [a potential that needs to be actualized]

5. The NC adds new paragraph at the end, contrasting this to the view of a thing-in-itself that has no relation whatever to human thought
