Lome Falkenstein points out quite correctly, Kreimendahl and Gawlick argue that
Kant, as a result of Hamann's Hume translation, discovered the Antinomy of Pure
Reason as it is found in the first Critique. I have never made such a claim. In fact,
I believe that Kant could not have discovered the Antinomy of Pure Reason in 1770
simply because he did not have a clear conception of reason as opposed to the un¬
derstanding. All I tried to show was that, borrowing a concept from biology, phy-
logenetically the Antinomy as a specific part of Kant's system evolved from a prob¬
lem that was at first quite undifferentiated, consisting both of what later became
the problem of the Transcendental Deduction and the Transcendental Analytic. It
presents some of the origins of the critical problem Kant tries to answer in the first
Critique.

in 1775,1777-78,1779-80, and 1781-82. He usually taught it from 8:00 to 9:00 A.M.,
but a few times also between 10:00 and 11:00 A.M. and 3:00 and 4:00 P.M.

haps somewhat surprising that he only published a version of these lectures in
1798 at the very end of his academic career, and that the multitude of transcripts
made by students was made available only sparingly. Apart from Fr. Chr. Starke's
