Summary
Metaphysics according to the lectures of Professor Kant in the winter semester 1792/93 from 7—8. by H. L. A. Dohna, begun Monday the 15th October 1792 (compendium by Baumgarten)
SPECIAL METAPHYSICS […]
The objects of our ideas are world and God – thus cosmology and theology The first concerns objects of the senses – (e.g., objects of nature, insofar as they constitute an absolute whole) but now also only insofar as they are not objects of the senses. Objects of the senses are:
1. of outer sense, these concern body, thus somatology, but only insofar as this cognition is unconditioned does it belong to the transcendental.
2. Of inner sense, this concerns the soul. We can think an immanent doctrine of body and of soul, a somatology and empirical psychology, [and] in order to indicate the connection of these empirical sciences with the rational ones, we want to mention something of them in the following. We divide metaphysics into:
1. critique of pure reason and ontology {contains immanent and transcendental concepts};
2. into the transcendent part of philosophy, now this is the one which contains cosmology and natural theology. – With respect to the transcendent our cognition is dialectical, I can affirm and deny a proposition with equally good grounds, maintain and refute it. This is a peculiar phenomenon of reason, it is called antinomy {conflict in its own subjective laws}. Thus we now go to the first section of this second part.
