Kant on God's Intuitive Understanding: Interpreting CJ 76′s Modal Claims

In 76 of the third Critique, Kant claims that an intuitive understanding would represent no distinction between possible and actual things. Prior interpretations of 76 take Kant to claim that an intuitive understanding would produce things merely in virtue of thinking about them and, thus, could not think of merely possible things. In contrast, I argue that 76's modal claims hinge on Kant's suggestion that God represents things in their thoroughgoing determination, including in their connection to God's actual will. I conclude by using my interpretation to argue that 76's modal claims do not entail Spinozism.
