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 Harries is speaking of the antinomy of Being
he is not so much thinking 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, the author is
neither concerned with Heidegger's nor Kant's thought. He shows
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, Harries claims, 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.
