In the first part of my paper, we will journey through the general structure of the first volume of Ideas, from which we will be able to deduce the position of Volume II.

The third part, the decisive one, will inquire into the position of the world and the place of the body and culture.

The same question will be asked about culture. An understanding of one as objective or subjective genitive radically alters the meaning of the pure ego.
