The paper explores Kant's attitude toward existence in the Critique of Pure Reason. It has two main goals: first, it argues that Kant's criticisms of the ontological argument might be vitiated by an ambivalence toward existence, and then it attempts to provide a solution to the ambivalence in question. Finally, since my reading of Kant assumes that for him, existence is governed by the rule of existential generalization, I also prove the following biconditional: existence is not a real predicate iff existential generalization is valid.
