The problem of the continuum in Kant's philosophy in light of metaphysics lectures
Abstract
This study aims to shed light on the problem of the divisibility of magnitudes in Kantian philosophy. Starting from an analysis of the concept of intensive magnitude developed by Kant in the context of the principle of pure mathematical understanding, known as the Anticipations of Perception, the aim is to offer some theoretical keys that allow the reconstruction of a continuum theory in various works of the corpus Kantian. The metaphysics lectures in particular take on special relevance because they contribute to clarify the confrontation between the two basic positions exposed regarding the continuum, from the pre-critical texts to the mature formulation of the problem in the second antinomy.
