Analogie et mathématique chez Emmanuel Kant

Abstract

Knowledge of an object in Kant begins to obey rules. Here the rule that has been favored is analogy. To make the Kantian analogy work, we have shown that the contribution of mathematics is undeniable. Mathematics makes it possible to simplify analogies to make them more effective and to extend knowledge. We have analyzed the object and the possibilities of grasping it as an extensive plural analogical nature in Kant. The Kantian analogies of nature also presenting themselves as mathematical rules, thus offer there are two ways of extending them.
