The First Antinom...Again see: Kant, the antimonies<br /><br />The First Antinomy (of Space and Time)<br /><br /> Thesis:<br /> The world has a beginning in time, and is also limited as regards space.<br /> Anti-thesis:<br /> The world has no beginning, and no limits in space; it is infinite as regards both time and space.<br /><br />The Second Antinomy (of Atomism)<br /><br /> Thesis:<br /> Every composite substance in the world is made up of simple parts, and nothing anywhere exists save the simple or what is composed of the simple.<br /> Anti-thesis:<br /> No composite thing in the world is made up of simple parts, and there nowhere exists in the world anything simple.<br /><br />The Dynamical Antinomies<br />The Third Antinomy (of Spontaneity and Causal Determinism)<br /><br /> Thesis:<br /> Causality in accordance with laws of nature is not the only causality from which the appearances of the world can one and all be derived. To explain these appearances it is necessary to assume that there is also another causality, that of Spontaneity.<br /> Anti-thesis:<br /> There is no Spontaneity; everything in the world takes place solely in accordance with laws of nature.<br /><br />[Note: It is important here to distinguish between Spontaneity and Freedom or Free Will. This Antinomy is often thought to refer to Free Will, but that comes not in the Critique of Pure Reason, but in the moral philosophy, where Kant sets up three other antinomious concepts, all three of which are only relevant to thinking, rational, sentient beings: God versus no God, Life after Death versus no Life after Death, and Free Will vs. Determinism. Spontaneity is a broader category and can apply to non-sentient beings and random events. Spontaneity encompasses Freedom, which for Kant means acting in accordance with the categorical imperative and applies only to sentient beings. Spontaneity, on the other hand, can include random occurrences that are not determined by either rationality (the rational principle of non-contradiction) or mechanical causality, It might, arguably, apply to quantum events that are only probabilistic. Speculating far beyond Kant, the process of decision making and free choice may consist in skewing that probabilistic outcome in one direction or another. This interface between the two spheres is not In Kant, but I think he hinted at it. Unfortunately, I do not know the German word for Spontaneity, so I might be wrong.<br />The Fourth Antinomy (of Necessary Being or Not)<br /><br /> Thesis:<br /> There belongs to the world, either as its part or as its cause, a being that is absolutely necessary.<br /> Anti-thesis:<br /> An absolutely necessary being nowhere exists in the world, nor does it exist outside the world as its cause.<br />********<br /><br />Rationality breaks down.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kant%27s_antinomiesCharltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-70508643041885606572015-03-23T22:19:03.398-04:002015-03-23T22:19:03.398-04:00March 23, 2015
