Kant's early philosophy of nature (1747-1763)= is seldom read even by historians but happens to be praised as "the essen= ce of modern models" in contemporary physics and cosmology. The pap= er deconstructs the misleading cliche of the early Kant as a mediocre thinker = and explores the current scientific significance of Kant's ontology. The = scholarly cliche has difficulties explaining that (1) Kant failed at the university because of Christian opposition (Knutzen), that (2) Kant's early inspiration about heuristic form was by a China-expert (Bilfinger), and that (3) Kant expressed his agreement with the ideas of a mathematician whose work recent= ly led to the superstring revolution (Euler). The focus of the paper is Kant's early relation and response to Euler, specifically Kant's dissertati= on on "physical monads" (1756). I argue that Kant succeeds at joining his and Euler's perspectives, and that Kant's ontology is as much o= f an early mirror of superstring- and M-theory today as Euler's beta function was their mathematical key.

Keywords: Kant, Euler, ontology, natu= re, force, superstrings
