Kant's Mathematical World aims to transform our understanding of
Kant's philosophy of mathematics and his account of the
mathematical character of the world. Daniel Sutherland reconstructs
Kant's project of explaining both mathematical cognition and our
cognition of the world in terms of our most basic cognitive
capacities. He situates Kant in a long mathematical tradition with
roots in Euclid's Elements, and thereby recovers the very different
way of thinking about mathematics which existed prior to its
'arithmetization' in the nineteenth century. He shows that Kant
thought of mathematics as a science of magnitudes and their
measurement, and all objects of experience as extensive magnitudes
whose real properties have intensive magnitudes, thus tying
mathematics directly to the world. His book will appeal to anyone
interested in Kant's critical philosophy -- either his account of
the world of experience, or his philosophy of mathematics, or how
the two inform each other.
