The Antinomy (n.) appears ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in all objects of every kind, in all conceptions, notions and ideas.

An Antinomy (n.) gets ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠elaborate proofs of thesis and antithesis from Kant, a roundabout way of flatly asserting each side, since each proof assumes what it sets out to prove.

Antinomy (n.) that ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Kant found were not four but countless, Hegel says: every concept could produce its own, and Kant blamed them on our minds out of tenderness for worldly things.

An Antinomy (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠space, time or matter — infinitely divisible or made of indivisibles — is nothing but quantity affirmed first as continuous, then as discrete, each as one-sided as the other.

An Antinomy (n.) as ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Kant worked it out is no subjective seesaw of grounds but the exhibition of how each abstract determination, taken on its own terms, overturns immediately into its opposite.

An Antinomy (n.) in ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Kant is a profound insight with a trivial solution: out of tenderness for the things of this world, the stain of contradiction is wiped off them and laid on reason.
