In this article I argue that the Critical Kant endorses the claim that God creates the best possible world, and that this claim is best understood as committing him to the view that God creates an infinitely valuable world. Kant’s understudied Critical theory of the best possible world differs significantly from his better-known quasi-Leibnizian pre-Critical account insofar as it uses an axiological rather than ontological metric for the goodness of worlds. The axiological metric introduces unique challenges for a Kantian account of the best possible world. These challenges are in turn resolved via an infinite value interpretation.

康德关于最佳可能世界的批判理论

在这篇文章中，我认为批判的康德赞同上帝创造了最可能的世界的主张，并且这种主张最好被理解为让他相信上帝创造了一个无限有价值的世界。康德关于最佳可能世界的未充分研究的批判理论与他更为人所知的准莱布尼茨前批判理论有很大不同，因为它使用价值论而非本体论的度量来衡量世界的善。价值论度量为康德对最佳可能世界的描述带来了独特的挑战。这些挑战又通过无限的价值解释得到解决。
