Scholars commonly assume that Kant never seriously engaged with Spinoza or Spinozism. However, in his later writings Kant argues several times that Spinozism is the most consistent form of transcendental realism. In the first part of the paper, I argue that the first Antinomy, debating the age and size of the world, already reflects Kant's confrontation with Spinozist metaphysics. Specifically, the position articulated in the Antithesis - according to which the world is infinite and uncreated - is Spinozist, not Leibnizian, as commonly assumed. In the second part of the paper, I raise the chief Spinozist challenge to the Antinomy, arising from Spinoza's reliance on a cosmological `totum analyticum' - an infinite whole which is prior to its parts. In conclusion, I begin to elaborate a defence of the Kantian position, confronting Spinoza's infinite whole with Kant's account of the absolutely infinite in his discussion of the sublime.View full textDownload full textKeywordsKant, Spinoza, Antinomies, sublime, infiniteRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09608788.2011.583418

机译：学者们普遍认为，康德从未认真对待过斯宾诺莎或斯宾诺斯主义。但是，康德在后来的著作中多次论证斯宾诺斯主义是超验现实主义的最一致形式。在本文的第一部分中，我认为，关于世界的年龄和规模的第一部《反抗论》已经反映出康德与斯宾诺斯主义形而上学的对立。具体来说，在对立面（据此世界是无限且未创造的）中明确表述的位置是Spinozist，而不是通常假定的莱布尼兹主义。在本文的第二部分中，我提出了斯宾诺莎对Antinomy的主要挑战，这源于斯宾诺莎对宇宙学“ totum analyticum”的依赖-这是一个无穷无尽的整体，在其各个部分之前。总而言之，我开始详细阐述康德的立场，在讨论崇高时用康德对绝对无限的解释来面对斯宾诺莎的无限整体。 ：“ Taylor＆Francis Online”，services_compact：“ citeulike，netvibes，twitter，technorati，delicious，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google，more”，pubid：“ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09608788.2011.583418
