This book provides an account of the unity of Immanuel Kant's early
metaphysics, including the moment he invents transcendental
idealism. Matthew Rukgaber argues that a division between "two
worlds"-the world of matter, force, and space on the one hand, and
the world of metaphysical substances with inner states and
principles preserved by God on the other-is what guides Kant's
thought. Until 1770 Kant consistently held a conception of space as
a force-based material product of monads that are only virtually
present in nature. As Rukgaber explains, transcendental idealism
emerges as a constructivist metaphysics, a view in which space and
time are real relations outside of the mind, but those relations
are metaphysically dependent on the subject. The subject creates
the simple "now" and "here," thus introducing into the
intrinsically indeterminate and infinitely divisible continua of
nature a metric with transformation rules that make possible all
individuation and measurement.
