Abstract
Josef König’s thinking is dominated by the idea of “radical” difference and by a particular example of that radical difference. I will begin with a few preliminary words about both.

Quoted by König in his lecture on aesthetic effect (see ref. under 4 below).
König, J., Die Natur der ästhetischen Wirkung, originally appeared in K. Ziegler (ed.), Wesen und Wirklichkeit des Menschen,Festschrift für Helmuth Plessner. Göttingen 1957 and now reprinted in G. Patzig (ed.): J. König. Vorträge und Aufsätze. München/Freiburg 1978. The references will be to this volume under the abbreviation VuA.
By “logic lectures”, I am referring to König’s two-semester long lecture course on Theoretische und Praktische Sätze, given in Göttingen during the summer semester 1953 and winter semester 1953/54. I make use of my own lecture notes.
I am indebted to Professor F. Rodi for making a copy of this essay entitled Der Logische Unterschied theoretische und praktische Sätze, available to me. I will refer to this essay as TuP. The paginations are from the printed galleys. The essay was never published.

Misch speaks of this knowledge as “in seinem Vollzug zugleich `praktisch’, für das Leben verbindlich und in es eingreifend.” (Misch, Lebensphilosophie und Phänomenologie. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit Heidegger und Husserl. Leipzig/Berlin, 1930, 233.) Cp. König’s remarks in this connection in Georg Misch als Philosoph, 225.

Klaus Hartmann’s label `judgment of address“ seems appropriate. I found this in J. Claude Evans, The Metaphysics of Transcendental Subjectivity. Descartes, Kant and W. Sellars, Amsterdam, 1984, 63.
