Identity, Opposition and Limitation as the Three Necessary a Priori Conditions for Anticipation

p. 52-63

Abstract

In this paper we investigate in which way the transcendental proof for the antinomy of pure reason, as presented by Kant and Fichte, can clarify something concerning anticipation. Kant, and especially Fichte, derive from this proof (by way of a reduction ad absurdum) that all forms of thinking presuppose the principle of identity, opposition and limitation. As a consequence, this means that anticipation, as a form of thinking, must presuppose all three principles. How do these three principles, concerning anticipation, function?
