Abstract
In these comments, I share some remarks concerning two main points lying at the core of Gava's book Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and the Method of Metaphysics: Gava's reconstruction and account of a transcendental deduction, its relation to a metaphysical deduction, and more specifically his reading of the B-Deduction. I will discuss Gava's arguments in order to highlight the key tenets of his interpretation and raise questions related to (1) the meaning and scope of the notion of 'transcendental'; and (2) the commitment to – and the extent of – what we might call 'cognitive constructivism'.

AbstractThis paper explores Beck's theory oforiginal representingin order to discuss both its historical and theoretical relevance and its implications concerning Kant's views on the capacity to judge. My first concern will be to highlight the main points of Beck's Kant interpretation and to show at which points he misunderstands Kant. My analysis also contains a positive aspect, for I adopt Beck's claim that there is only one possible standpoint from which critical philosophy ought to be judged. Unlike Beck, I shall argue that this standpoint is that of Judgment's normativity. I will consider the normative structure of Judgment from three perspectives: the proto-synthetic import of sensibility; the normative character of the pure concepts of the understanding; the lawfulness of the principles of the understanding. My basic idea is that only a normative account of Judgment can prove how and why all experience depends on the possibility of synthetic a priori judgments. On Kant's account, the capacity to judge applies transcendental rules to establish the laws which make our experience and knowledge both possible and legitimate. Every single object is an object of experience only insofar as it conforms to the normative structure of Judgment. For Kant, to constitute an object means to apply the rules which make something possible as an object of experience and cognition.

In this paper I discuss some relevant theses of Caranti's Kant's Political Legacy, whose aim is to provide a consistent account of how we could develop Kant's political thought and see to what extent Kant's insights can help us to critically understand the 21st century's political world. First, I will focus on autonomy as the ground of dignity and discuss Caranti's arguments against the exclusiveness of the Categorical Imperative as the sole principle of true moral agency. Second, I will take into account Caranti's views on history and consider whether human rational nature can be regarded as containing teleological – though non-biological – elements, thereby questioning Caranti's Separability Thesis. ; U radu razmatram neke važne teze Karantijeve knjige Kantovo političko nasleđe, čiji je cilj da ponudi konzistentni uvid u to kako možemo razvijati Kantovu političku misao i da odgovori do koje nam mere Kantovi zaključci mogu pomoći da kritički razumemo politički svet 21. veka. Prvo se usredsređujem na autonomiju kao osnovu dostojanstva i raspravljam o Karantijevim argumentima koji u pitanje dovode ekskluzivnost kategoričkog imperativa kao jedinog načela istinskog moralnog delovanja. Zatim, razmatram Karantijeve poglede na istoriju i postavljam pitanje da li se može prihvatiti da racionalna priroda ljudi sadrži teleološke – iako ne-biološke – elemente, dovodeći na na taj način u pitanje Karantijevu tezu o razdvajanju.

The political legacy of classical German philosophy can contribute in a crucial way to the most recent developments of contemporary political thought, thereby also making sense of the contradictions underlying the social practices and institutional values of our societies. What justifies this perspective is, in the first place, the complexity of contemporaneity, which holds within itself a doubleness that can be understood in the light of the conceptual tools of classical German philosophy. On the one hand, contemporary societies seem to be facing relentless crises in the modern idea of democracy, the political subject of the nation-state, and capitalist economic structures. On the other hand, there is an ever-increasing demand for rights and new forms of recognition, not to mention the emergence of grassroots movements that strive for greater political participation and generate new collective subjectivities. By radically questioning traditional philosophical categories, Kant, Fichte and Hegel provide a new and insightful understanding of the crucial challenges of modernity. They outline a conception of practical rationality and its multiple manifestations that is irreplaceable for philosophically understanding our contemporary world.
