Anm.), in denen Kant sich ausdrücklich auf Kopernikus bezieht. Diese beiden
Stellen und ihre Kontexte sollen einer kommentarischen Interpretation
unterzogen werden; zugleich soll eine Rezeptionsgeschichte dieser Analogie in
der Kant-Forschung und darüber hinaus in der allgemeinen Ideengeschichte
geschrieben werden.
Das Projekt ist eingebettet in die Arbeit des Zentrums für Kommentarische
Interpretation zu Kant (www.zetkik.de)
an der Universität Siegen. Das ZetKIK fördert philosophiehistorische
Forschungen, die dem Prinzip der detaillierten Textnähe und der kooperativen
Forschung verpflichtet sind.

„Des menschlichen Lebens letztes Ziel ist: Glückseligkeit.“ (Thomas von Aquin)
