The Antinomy of Being (Paperback)

The word "antinomy" lets us think of Kant. One thing this book
attempts to show is that Kant's antinomies open a way towards an
overcoming of that nihilism that is a corollary of the
understanding of reality that presides over our science and
technology. But when I am speaking of the antinomy of Being I am
thinking not so much of Kant, as of Heidegger. Not that Heidegger
speaks of an antinomy of Being. But his thinking of Being leads him
and will lead those who follow him on his path of thinking into
this antinomy. At bottom, however, I am concerrned with neither
Heidegger's nor Kant's thought: I shall try to show that our
thinking inevitably leads us into some version of this antinomy
whenever it attempts to grasp reality in toto, without loss. All
such attempts will fall short of their goal. And that they do so, I
will claim, is not something to be grudgingly accepted, but
embraced as a necessary condition of living a meaningful life. That
is why the antinomy of Being matters and should concern us all.
