Abstract

Our hypothesis about enlargement being an important meaning for Kant\'s critical project intends to problematize its traditional sense of delimitation and to overcome its interpretation as a propaedeutic to doctrinal knowledge. In this way, it is a matter of perceiving the gaps through which it would be possible to cross this traditional meaning in order to defend that criticism expands the subjective edges of the fields of reason. In part I, we discuss how modern criticism even before Kant extends itself in different directions and engenders polemics in the intellectual milieu about the limits of this so-called art. Mixed with technical issues, the dispute also favors two ideas that are at the starting point for KrV: the idea of the judging public and the idea of an age of criticism. In part II, more focused on the three Critiques, we explore the maturing of an answer that goes beyond a school problem to project the roots of the a priori representations in view of the spreading of the power of necessity, thus directly serving the faculties of the mind in the limits of subjectivity, namely, thought, desire and feeling. In the light of these two parts, we want to build a sense of criticism in Kant that, without neglecting the power of his formalism, expands with rigor and flexibility the margins of what we can qualify as rational.
