Dissertation

Indeterminacy, Infinity, Ideality: Kant's Mathematical Antinomies. ​My dissertation focused on the resolutions of the first and second antinomies, which concern the cosmological questions of the world's spatiotemporal extent and the divisibility of matter. In the resolution of the antinomies, Kant claims that transcendental idealism proves the thesis and antithesis statements of the antinomies both to be false. That is, it is false that the world is spatiotemporally finite, and it is false that it is spatiotemporally infinite; likewise, it is false that objects are composed from a finite number of simple parts, and it is false that objects are composed of infinitely many parts, none of which are simple. I argue that in making these claims, Kant means to attribute metaphysical indeterminacy to the spatiotemporal extent and compositional structure of the empirical world. Moreover, in fleshing out exactly what these claims to indeterminacy amount to, we see more clearly how Kant understands the ideality of appearances. Along the way, I make several key claims about how Kant understands the relationship between infinite phenomena and indeterminate phenomena and about why Kant thinks the spatiotemporal world must be indeterminate, given that transcendental idealism is true.
