• Abstract

  From an listing and a classification of the embryological lexicon used by Kant in his writings-a lexicon sometimes endowed with new meanings that the philosopher gives it-, the present study aims to analyze the main concepts detected in this context, not only through from an immanent reading of Kant's writings, but also in the light of philosophical and scientific documentary sources prio…

• Abstract

  My purpose is to investigate the concept of "manifold" in the Critique of Pure Reason, a concept that, within of the functional structure of the first Critique, has a fundamental importance, and whose specificity [i.e. the manifoldness] determines characteristics and operation of other elements of the same structure [i.e. the synthesis and categorical unity].

The characteristic syntheticness of such concepts produces a convergence among their constitutive elements with the purpose of solving difficulties that could not be…

This operation is described, generally, as a judgment of natural objects according to an analogy with human art, such t…
