Abstract

In the first six months of our postdoctoral we achieved a significant improvement about the presentation of Kant's Idea concept through an analogous scheme in Schelling as soul's producing faculty a priori. Therefore, we consider that Kantian theory of subject finds its unity in an escaping point, Anthropology. From this consideration we are faced with the following question: if within Kant's thought the idea of reason is not able to be exhibited by a schema and either through a comparison between system and body, how to think an idea analogous scheme identity valid within both authors thoughts? In our view this identity is able through pragmatic anthropology as an analogous scheme to the ideal of reason. Our hypothesis will be verified through followings points elucidation: 1) the role's concepts of Gemüt, Seele and Geist within Kant thought linked to his Anthropology as an analogous scheme. 2) a possible essential link between Schelling's Naturphilosophie pure transcendental foundation and Kant's technical-architectural scheme notion. 3) from the results obtained we will check the following hypothesis of our research: the Kant's notion of idea could be displayed by the moving notion within Schelling's "Timaeus" essay.
