Peirce’s weather vane: a critical interpretation of E.G.

“Kant describes magnitude in terms of the process of moving from a unity or a ‘representation of a part’ through plurality over a period of time, to the achievement of totality or a whole at the end of the period of time. He gives the example of the construction of geometrical line, which proceeds over time from a point, to a plurality of points, to a line (CPR A 162 / B 203).”
