In feite, zegt hij, 'komt een gedachte wanneer 'zij' wil, zodanig dat het een vervalsing van de feiten is om te zeggen: het subject 'ik' is de voorwaarde van het predikaat 'denk'. Een gedachte komt tot de filosoof 'van buitenaf, uit de hoogte of uit de diepte, als gebeurtenissen of bliskemschichten die voor hem bestemd zijn'.
