A priori/a posteriori 2
But what do you believe. Personally.
On the thing-in-itself: Kant did posit that there is a noumenal realm superseding the phenomenal realm. If I had to give my thoughts, I’d say that phenomena interact with each other and end, yet at the same time each represent a noumena which is eternal and does not change.
What I feel a strong pity for is Hegels focus on infinity as an absolutism without him having had the chance of incorporating the expanded upon layer of infinity which made the rounds some half a century after his death.
While not looking at it from a mathematical perspective, his philosophical approach and all the angles he took in regards to infinity would have benefited greatly from Cantors works of a "second" or "greater" infinity.
A mathematician formulating a complete new theory to infinity, which basically states that there is a greater infinity between 0 and 1 than there is between one and any other integer would may have caused Hegels work to expand even further.
And it is true. When you look at the mathematical idea of... alright when I want to go from 0 to 1, where do I start? At 0.1? Or 0.01? Or 0.001? Or 0.00000001? Or.... and realise that this infinity is truly uncountable
And compare it with the until now known idea of a "countable" 1,2,3,4......integer based infinity you would draw conclusions for your own philosophical ideas and theories.
And its truly a shame that this never came to pass. Like time robbed Hegel of a necessary inspiration.
