| Abstract | |
When he affirmed in the Canon of the Critique of Pure Reason that "Practical freedom can be proved by experience" (Die praktische Freiheit kann durch Erfahrung bewiesen werden) (KrV, A 802/ B 830), Kant imposed to the interpreter a great number of difficulties regarding the concepts of "freedom" and "experience" that he before presented on the Third Antinomy, through the antinomic conflict and its critical solution, he just proved that freedom is logically possible because it can be thought in another domain than the phenomenical, and cannot then be proved by experience. In this sense, we might say this presents compatibility problem, that we may call, for now, semantic; I will present two possible solutions: the logical solution, that is, a solution of the problem by verifying conceptual compatibility or incompatibility, and the genetic solution, that is, a solution of the problem by considering the different periods of production of Kant's texts. But I will develop, as my main hypothesis, the semantic reading --- one of the logical solutions proposed by Loparic. In this interpretation, it is defended that the dilemma between the critical solution of the Third Antinomy and the Canon has arisen by the fact that Kant did not have a domain of sensification distinct from of cognitive experience in which to the concept of the practical freedom, in the Canon, could be proved without losing its critical character, that is without abandoning the presupposition of transcendental freedom (Loparic, 1999b, p. 21) (AU) | |
