Abstract
This chapter utilizes the distinction between community as commercium and as communioto make sense of Kant’s conception of the empirical self, its place in material nature, the explication of nature as the unity of apperception, and the difference between the merely epistemological worth he accorded to ordinary and scientific knowledge and the properly ontological value he ascribed to transcendental philosophical knowledge. The chapter concludes with an examination of the Postulates of Empirical Thought and the concept of nature that emerges from them. It is argued that the latter is fully compatible with the theories and models of physics, general relativity and quantum theory not excepted.
