Kant and Existence: Critique of Pure Reason A 600/B 628

  • J. William Forgie
From the journal Kant-Studien

By whatever and by however many predicates we may think a thing – even if we completely determine it – we do not make the least addition to the thing when we further declare that this thing is. Otherwise, it would not be exactly the same thing that exists, but something more than we had thought in the concept; and we could not, therefore, say that the exact object of my concept exists.
