Montenot and Janicaud both assume the course mentioned is Einleitung in die Philosophie, but since Beaufret refers to the publication of the course in the Gesamtausgabe, this cannot be the case, since Einleitung was not published until a decade after Beaufret’s death. Beaufret is wrong that the passage is not in the published version of The Metaphysical Foundations, but otherwise this story fits.
