In the Transcendental Dialectic, Kant writes that the concept of God refers to an \u201ceternity without time\u201d (A642\/B669). In various lecture notes, he calls the latter a \u201cduration without beginning and end [omnitudo durationis],\u201d which is a being without time that is eternal.72 But, as Mario Caimi notices, the concept of eternity invoked in reference to sensible conditions differs markedly from the aeternitas of the concept of the supreme being.73 The latter is a concept that does not belong to time.<\/p>\n

In the Metaphysik Mrongovius (1782\u201383), Kant argues as follows: Eternity can be represented as potential time [in potentia] \u2026 Duration of a thing in time, insofar as time is without limits, is existence at all times. That is phenomenal eternity [aeternitas phaenomenon] or sempiternity [sempiternitas] and is to be distinguished from noumenal eternity [aeternitas noumenon]; and this I think of as not in time and can attribute it to God.<\/p>\n

\u2026 Duration without beginning or end is the negative concept of eternity, but also problematic, for I cannot determine it concretely [in concreto]. Eternity from the earlier part [aeternitas a parte ante] does not allow itself to be conceived in time because the procession can be infinite and absolute [processus infinitus ut absolutus].<\/p>\n

By eternity [aeternitas], as duration without beginning and end, we gain nothing, because the concept does not at all apply to noumena [noumenis]. Sempiternity [sempiternitas] is existence at all times. (V-Met\/Mron, 29:842\u201343) The concept of a supreme being merely signifies a negative concept of eternity, given that the noumenon in no way contains duration in time.<\/p>\n

Since Kant distinguishes between noumenal and phenomenal eternity, I have to think that the eternity implied with regard to phenomena refers to ideals of understanding.74 For instance, the empirical laws affirmed by physics seem to be likely candidates for belonging necessarily to all time.<\/p>\n
