THE FACULTIES OF THE HUMAN MIND AND THE CASE OF...

In the past few decades a remarkable change occurred in Kant scholarship: the other Kant has
been discovered  i.e. the one of the doctrine of virtue and the anthropology. Through the
rediscovery of Kant's investigations into the empirical and sensuous aspects of knowledge  our
understanding of Kant's philosophy has been enriched by an important element that has allowed
researchers to correct supposed deficiencies in Kant's work. In addition  further questions
concerning the nature of Kant's philosophy itself have been formulated: the more the other Kant
comes to the fore  the stronger the question concerning the connection between pure philosophy
and empirical investigation becomes.The aim of this study is to show that the psychological and
anthropological interpretations of Kant's pure philosophy are not convincing and at the same
time to illustrate some connections between his critical and anthropological investigations by
means of an analysis of the theory of the faculties.Against both a transcendental psychological
and an anthropological reading  the book presents Kant's theory of the faculties as a
constitutive part of his critical philosophy and shows that there is a close connection between
Kant's pure philosophy and his moral aesthetic.
