Immanuel Kant, Prolegomena - The Mathematical Antinomies - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant's work, The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics.

Specifically it focuses on his discussion in the Third Part Of The Transcendental Problem: How is metaphysics in general possible? Specifically this bears upon the two "mathematical" antinomies Kant examines in the section on the Cosmological Ideas. These are:

First Antinomy. Thesis: The world has a temporal and spatial beginning or limit. Antithesis: The world does not have a temporal and spatial beginning or limit.

Second Antinomy. Thesis: Everything in the world consists of something that is simple. Antithesis: Everything in the world does not consist of something that is simple
