1. How is the confusion of the determining self (i.e., the unity of consciousness) with the determinable self (i.e., the consciousness of a unity) an example of a paralogism?
2. Why can't the transcendental concept of the self, soul, or "I" (ego) be known empirically as an object of experience (i.e., as a simple substance)?
3. What does Kant mean by saying that, "just as the paralogisms of pure reason formed the basis of a dialectical psychology, so the antinomy of pure reason will exhibit to us the transcendental principles of a pretended pure rational cosmology"?
4. What does Kant mean by saying that "if the conditioned is given, the entire sum of conditions, and consequently the absolutely unconditioned (through which alone the unconditioned has been possible) is also given"?
5. In his discussion of the second antinomy, Kant notes that space and time do not consist of simple parts. How does he justify this? And why is this helpful for understanding the first and second antinomies?
6. What role does the concept of causality play in the third antinomy? And how does Kant's appeal to transcendental freedom resolve the antinomy?
7. According to Kant's account of the fourth antinomy, the cause of the world cannot exist either in the world or outside it; why not?
