Abstract

Our main postdoctoral project aims to deepen, especially from a philosophical point of view, the Kant-Canguilhem-Lebrun theoretical lineage. In the light of the studies on philosophy and biology of our research group at the USP, with a first research period (6 months) at the IHPST in Paris under the direction of the Professor Philippe Huneman (last pupil of Lebrun), we would like to fortify the theoretical link between Kant, Canguilhem and Lebrun, proving that these three authors have in common not only a certain philosophy in the general sense, but also a well-defined conception of the philosophy of biology, according to which the living organism is characterized by an idea of internal finality. This conception breaks with the traditional idea of metaphysics, according to which the living being has its own reason for being in an external finality.
