Opus Postumum: Kant
“In the sole reference to something like the ether in the Postulates of Empirical Thought in CPR, Kant states that if some intermediate being with an ontological state between matter and mind persists in space, its concept cannot be a priori but requires experience.”
“Kant’s theory of body formation anticipates contemporary field theory…and offers an …emergence account of the relationship between physical bodies and the field…The effort to use the concept of emergence for the interpretation of Kant’s theory of substance and matter in the OP opens much room for further discussion and gives interesting input for future research. ”
