This translation of Mayz Vallenilla's ground-breaking work makes it available in English for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mayz Vallenilla's interpretation is deeply informed by Heidegger's reading of Kant, against the background of the early 20th century neo-Kantian tradition. He offers a detailed interpretation and critique of \"nothing\" as it appears in the Amphiboly chapter of the \u003ci\u003eCritique of Pure Reason\u003c\/i\u003e and presents an analysis of Kant's Table of Nothing which understands temporality as the horizon of all possible cognition[AE1], including cognition of real nothings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Accompanied by translator's notes and a glossary, Addison Ellis' translation includes extensive commentary and an introduction providing historical context and references to the original sources in German. He preserves key terminology and phrasing from the original text and allows an often-neglected connection to be made between the Kantian tradition in Latin America and the tradition in the Anglophone world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAddison Ellis\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at The American University in Cairo, Egypt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eErnesto Mayz Vallenilla\u003c\/b\u003e (1925 - 2015) was a Venezuelan philosopher.
