Passage and Progress in Kant's Anthropology

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how anthropology can represent a way of realization of the passage between freedom and nature in Kant's thought. Thus, we want to make it clear that the problem inaugurated in the introductions to the Critique of Judgement about the possibility of a passage between the immeasurable gulf of freedom and nature becomes possible not only from the reflections made on the faculty of judgment and its implications in judgments of taste over the beautiful and in the judgments of purpose but also from the thesis of progress presented in the Kant's philosophy of history which receives one of its forms of realization in matters involving human nature (anthropology).
