Summary

Chapter 10 briefly comments the influence of Euclid’s theory of magnitude and the Eudoxian theory of proportions on Kant’s thought in light of advances in mathematics from the early seventeenth century to the late eighteenth century. Despite these advances, mathematics was still often viewed as a science of magnitudes and their measure. The chapter also indicates further work to be done to understand Kant’s philosophy of geometry, arithmetic, algebra, and analysis.
