In this book, James Sares demonstrates - via his readings of Kant and Hegel - the impossibility of time's robust passage. Sares' approach is both exegetical and critical, developing textual analyses of Kant and Hegel's respective claims concerning the antinomies of time while challenging and extending their work in conversation with contemporary debates in metaphysics and the philosophy of time. Drawing on Hegel's logic, he rebuts Kant's suggestion that the arguments of his antinomies do not apply to time because of its status as appearance. Yet Hegel, for Sares, fails to clearly articulate the irresolvability of the antimonies or their metaphysical significance. Sares returns to Kant, contra Hegel, to argue for the importance of the antinomies as problems for the very possibility of worldly existence, even for the rational closure of Hegel's logical system.
By showing how time's robust passage cannot be rationally explained, this work constitutes a novel contribution to the scholarship on Kant, Hegel, and the philosophy of time.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
