91 Adelaide Road NW - He has come across a notion in Heywood's Analysis of Kant (1844) which occurred to him some ten years ago: 'I was considering a syllogism in which a term is a class of which the individuals are the subject at different moments of its existence'. ADM reflects upon the multipresence of consciousness and the idea of the ego knowing himself for himself in all the different parts of a space, without being able to say I am one person here (or now) and another there (or then). This supposes a faculty beyond our comprehension 'of what is what - which ties spaces together just as memory ties time together. All this I found in Kant' [Heywood p.109]. In his examination of ontological and religious works about the Almighty: 'I think I see a very great tendency to confuse omnipresent personality with infinite extent'. ADM is now writing on the subject of infinity.
