I meant to say that in philosophy it is important to know -- who --
said something.

if there happened to be a sentence known to have been said by both
Nietzsche and Kant, that sentence would not mean the same in both
cases.

in case you do not understand this, imagine the sentence as if it
were a hat. the same hat would not look the same and not mean the
same if worn by two different people.

now you see, don't you? this is very very different from what happens
in science.
