Tra psicologia e ontologia. Prolegomeni ad uno studio dell'immaginazione kantiana.

Abstract

Kant's approach to imagination in the Critique of Pure Reason is very complex and it cannot be reduced to a univocal interpretative model. The essay deals with a fundamental question: how does the faculty of imagination enter into transcendental philosophy? Or, in other words, how can imagination be, according to Kant, a specific philosophical problem? The standpoint chosen by the author is the first version of the transcendental deduction of understanding's pure concepts. Here, more than in the second edition, appear the problematic points of a research which attempts to offer a radical turn on imagination, but still has plenty of connections to a precedent philosophical background.
