An antinomy according to Kant is a dialectical assertion and its negation simultaneously positing themselves as truth. In other words, a contradiction in which both sides make equally valid points. This results in exhaustion and a stalemate, where inertia becomes the major player, unless one-side becomes outweighed by the other. For example, the proposition “God exists” and “God does not exist” are antinomians because they cannot both be true at once. Kant gives us four major antinomies: The universe is finite or the universe is infinite Things are reducible or they are irreducible There is either freedom or determinism God exists or God does not exist The first two are called the mathematical antinomies and the latter two - dynamic. So to defeat the inertia caused by contradiction, Kant says “neither… nor.” The meaning of “the universe is neither finite nor infinite” and that “things are neither reducible nor irreducible” means what? They are indefinite. I will address the...
