Conhecimento e ética: o ceticismo de Kant

Abstract

Kant is considered a complex philosopher, difficult even. Even those who are not particularly in agreement with this opinion, cannot fail to recognize the profound, irreconcilable differences between currents that are also called kan-tianas. And he cannot fail to recognize its importance. This work wants to give an introductory, and quick notion, to whoever wants to study Kant; deals with his theories of eethical knowledge, selecting a few more significant aspects, within the spatial limits of a communication like this. so difficult to understand. The most subtle objective is to interpret the Kantian work more in its destructive aspect than constructive, concepts that will become clear in the course of the work. It is superfluous to say that the author of this article gives his own version of the great philosopher. As a last caveat, we will speak of Kant qua talis's thinking and not of his great influence on Western culture, including in Brazil.
