In my opinion, one of Kant’s greatest contributions was to teach us a language of interdependence. That the series cannot exist without the logical limit and vice versa. That we should stop trying to separate them. Or at least stop being surprised when the effort to do so quickly founders on the shores of confusion.
On this reading, zero can no longer be considered an experiencable number. Rather, like the notion of infinity, it is the conceptual limit of a series of experiences. And so perhaps we can finally dispense with the idea of a nothing. And believe that we will always be a part of the universe.
