| Sumario: | This paper exposes and addresses the debate about whether the universe is continuous or discrete. This problem is implicitly included in post-Kantian critical philosophy since it criticizes and rejects the a priori Kantian synthetic judgments of space and time, sustaining instead that they are learned by experience. From J. F. Herbart, Helmholtz, E. Mach to S. Freud, this and another set of conjectures and an agenda of problems are shared, but a consequence is not made explicit or addressed in that common agenda: without a priori synthetic judgments the universe would be a continuum whose apparent discretion is constituted by experience. We address this problem from the clinical phenomenon of dementia in patients with schizophrenia, analyzing the philosophical consequences entailed by conjecture for this dementia is psychogenic, caused by the destruction of the representations that support the appearance of a discrete universe |
