This book provides a comprehensive account of Kant's development
from the 1755/56 metaphysics to the cosmological antinomy of 1781.
With the Theory of the Heavens (1755) and the Physical Monadology
(1756), the young Kant had presented an ambitious approach to
physical cosmology based on an atomistic theory of matter, which
contributed to the foundations of an all-encompassing system of
metaphysics. Why did he abandon this system in favor of his
critical view that cosmology runs into an antinomy, according to
the Critique of Pure Reason (CPR)? This book answers this question
by focusing on Kant's methodology and the internal problems of his
1755/56 theory of nature. A decisive role for Kant's critical turn
plays the argument from incongruent counterparts (1768), which drew
much attention among philosophers of science, though not
sufficiently in Kant research. Furthermore, the book analyses the
genesis of the cosmological antinomy in the 1770s, the logical
structure of the antinomy in the CPR, its relation to
transcendental idealism, as explained in the "experiment of pure
reason" (1787), and its role for the teleology of human reason. The
book is addressed to Kant scholars, philosophers of science, and
students of Kant's philosophy.
