Likewise, it does not seem to appear in any other text of Kant, and no other reference is to be found that precedes this occurrence. Hence, I assume that Selbstgebarung is a neologism of the philosopher's making, and that it may have resulted from the condensation of two terms whose mutual vicinity had long been established in the mystical-theosophical field. Throughout the present study, I shall examine the origin of the expression, the philological difficulties inherent to its understanding, and the elements pertaining to a self-generation of the understanding.29-45engCritique of Pure ReasonSelbstgebarungepigenesisequivocal generationspontaneous generationself-generation of the understandingArtigoWOS:000399636300002Acesso restrito
