 To this purpose, the structure of the entry now takes the following form: first, an investigation of three controversies, addressed by Lotze (that are, quite naturally, not controversies for us); second, an exposition of three contributions Lotze made to the academic discipline of philosophy, which are incorporated, sometimes as wholes, sometimes in parts, usually unacknowledged, by the modernist movements that displaced him; and, finally, a discussion, naturally somewhat speculative and incomplete, as to the ways that, faute de mieux, Lotze still exerts an underground influence on issues of some undisputed currency. These I deem his “legacies.”
