Edmund Husserl and philosophy markup

Over at my eclectic-pencil blog I have a post on markup for philosophy in German.

The markup is used to try to make a dense and awkward text more readable and more approachable for someone new to that style of academic German writing.

The text in question is Husserl's 1927 article for the Encyclopedia Britannica - a text which has a connection with both Edith Stein and Martin Heidegger.

By comparing the two results for the same text input, the minimal markup can be seen to be very effective.

The markup used is the Curl web content language from curl.com

The reliable and secure Curl browser plugin is required.  Results are best on Windows in most browsers and on Linux in Firefox; I have not tested these new pages with the Mac add-on.

Edmund Husserl versus Telescopium (Die Krisis der Eur'n Wiss'n)

Question: where in Krisis does Husserl indicate that he was aware that Galileo was looking through a spyclass at Venus and Jupiter and not through a Keplerian-style inverting refractor telescope?  My copy and the English translation are packed away in a box until that day when I again have some office space ...

Fernglas?

Teleskop?

The former was of particular value to artillery officers prior to the calculus;  see Galileo and the geometry of canon shots for best distance; see Husserl's naive stance on war during the early years of WWI (cp: B. Russell, same period)

See the use of optical transit with howitzer altititude and azimuth positioning through both Korea and Vietnam.

Transit and land surveying versus the forester's compass for the German managed woodlot: example, Marburg Lahntal opposite the old university in der naehe von Cappel.

Compare: GPS and digital alt-az encoders.

Historical note: Kepler's "observations" are not chiefly with a telescope. Cf: later use of "zenith telescope" and the last precision US Navy zenith telescope and its reliance on mechanics for its optical precision.
