Cosmopolitan law and reason in Kant
2018
From Kant's cosmopolitan proposal, over and above its placing w it h in t he more specif ic space of doctrine of right, important elements emerge in connection with the project of a "critiue of reason", considered in all its architectural extension, and therefore, ultimately, in relation to what Kant really means by "human reason". And indeed - this is the hypothesis that guides the present work - precisely starting from what the treatment of cosmopolitan law reveals about the complexity of the concept of reason it becomes possible to understand in a theoretically informed way the meaning of the political-legal proposal that pervades Kant's late maturity. In order to verify this hypothesis,…
Cosmopolitanism and Human Reason
2019
Over and above the modalities with which it is expressed in the domains of Kant’s system, the theme of cosmopolitanism embodies the meaning of a philosophy seen as a plan to build on the connection between man, polis and reason; an essential connection that in human reason identifies not a simple endowment which everyone has by nature but a form of life to be realized in the world, a purpose whose binding strength is only fully expressed in the public dimension.
Filosofia in senso cosmico e destinazione dell'uomo
2020
Conceived by Kant as a spontaneous self-legislating activity, reason produces drives, norms and desires in which man, as a rational being, is a participant, but over which, as a finite being, he can neither fully exercise his cognitive power nor exercise his will to the very end. The expression “human reason” thus describes the condition in which we never find ourselves at home; or, rather, we live in our own house as guests who are not always at ease. That is to say, reason puts us in an embarrassing situation (Verlegenheit), because it reminds us that the space in which we think we can move so easily, and in which we trust we are well acclimatized in virtue of our knowledge and our skills…
REVOLUTION AND PROGRESS IN KANTIAN REASON
2022
Immanuel Kant’s project for a critique of reason exhibits a foundation that has an avowedly not despotic profile. This is to say that the sense in which Kant speaks of reason as a faculty of principles appears to be intimately connected with the idea that ‘principle’, in a strict sense, can only be said of what does not escape the critical opinion and autonomy of thought that such a judgment necessarily involves. The strictly political form of government that is applied, according to Kant, to the authority of reason as exercise of non-despotic power affords a privileged point of view from which to reread, in not necessarily antagonistic terms, a widespread image in contemporary debate – tha…
L’anthropologie kantienne comme critique de la raison
2020
En quel sens l’anthropologie en tant que connaissance empirique de l’homme peut-elle être comprise comme faisant partie du projet transcendantal d’une critique de la raison pure ? Devrions-nous nous en tenir, plutôt, à une séparation irrémédiable entre la connaissance anthropologique et la philosophie pure ? À notre avis, il est essentiel de répondre à ces questions pour éclairer à fond le thème kantien de la raison humaine et donc la relation qui existe entre l’homme en tant que thème de l’anthropologie et la raison en tant que sujet de recherche critique. Cela implique la prise en charge des difficultés qui se représentent au niveau des relations qui existent entre les différentes parties…
