“The Last Days of Immanuel Kant” · account of the established daily routine before the later decline
Passage: Paragraph beginning “Immediately after he smoked a pipe” and the following paragraph
Timing & context
The source gives “about seven” for going to lectures. The two activities are kept together because the changeover to writing is not timed. The following paragraph says he rose from his chair “three quarters before one.”
De Quincey adapts German accounts by Wasianski, Jachmann, Borowski, and others; he was not an eyewitness. This calendar follows the habitual sequence in that adaptation. Lectures belong to teaching days, dinner length varied, and uncertain boundaries are labeled.
1795 is a representative display year selected by Typical Tuesday. The source describes an established teaching-era routine in the 1790s. It resumes Wasianski’s close association in 1790 and separately describes changes in old age; this is not the schedule of Kant’s final illness.
