Abstract
The article discusses central European logic through the philosophy of Immanuel Kant (philosophy as land surveying), comparing it to the conception of space and time of Central European Sinti. The article is based on an anthropological understanding of cultural logic/reason which allows to compare the philosophy of Kant (to be seen as ethnography about itself) to the philosophy of the Prussian and the South Tyrolean Sinti. Kant would have had the opportunity to learn from the Prussian Sinti as his colleague Christian Jacob Kraus, an empirical philosopher, was working with them. Though through his philosophical distinction between popular (populär) and systematic (systematisch) it was not possible for him to include Sinti philosophy into his reflections. Thus the potential outcome of a mutual philosophical fertilization between "land surveyors » and "nomads » remains an ethnographic speculation.
