Ontological trade and the possibility of a metaphysical knowledge of the natural world in Kant’s Nova dilucidatio
Abstract
Establishing the foundations for his first preCritical synthesis, Kant presents in the Nova dilucidatio the principles of succession and coexistence, which, besides make possible a metaphysical knowledge of nature, intended to be useful to natural science. Both are derived from the principle of determining reason, formulated in the context of a critique to Wolff. These principles establish that the world is constituted by totality of substances conformed by a dynamic network of causal interconnections, the last foundation of which is the relational scheme with which divine intellect conceives the world.
