Emil Lederer · 1920
Emil Lederer’s 1920 commission speaking turn on coal mining consists of a single intervention. He challenges a preceding claim by arguing that, in the case under discussion, the reasoning closely coincides with private interest:
In diesem Fall doch, weil der ganze Gedankengang in etwas liegt, was so stark mit dem privaten Interesse zusammenfällt!
English translation: In this case, yes, because the whole line of reasoning rests on something that coincides so closely with private interest!
The remark makes that alignment grounds for objection. Its relevance lies in Lederer’s scrutiny of the interests underlying an argument; the missing preceding exchange prevents identifying the particular proposal or claim he disputes.
