Summary/Abstract: "In the present paper I intent to present briefly the significance the first two analogies of Kant’s analogies of experience acquire in the modern Physics. With regard to the first one – Principle of Permanence of Substance – I try to examine the form taken in Physics as well as the way in which I can ground it physically. Regarding the Second Analogy – Principle of Succession in Time, in accordance with the Law of Causality – I draft the relation between this analogy and the Indetermination Principle. Thus, despite the fact that this principle limits the universal and necessary applicability of this analogy, I try to argue that there are some epistemological reasons to consider our knowledge about determination as a ’parasite’ of the causal determination science."
