Abstract
How can we orient ourselves on the boundaries of reason? How does reason orient itself in borderline areas when defining the limits between the possibility and impossibility of knowledge? Is it really possible to definitively and necessarily determine the «limits» of pure reason? How does reason orient itself in borderline questions that transcend both its internal logical-analytical legality and its relation to the conditions of possibility of experience? Are the limits of reason impenetrable-insurmountable barriers or are they boundary lines that can be crossed and may in fact undergo a semantic transformation? This thematic area is analysed by Kant in the essay Was heisst: sich im Denken orientieren? in which introduces for the first time within the field of possibility (alongside real possibility and logical possibility) the concept of subjective possibility. In the semantic relationship between the concept of subjective possibility, the notion of limit and a reflexive-transcendental research process, the essay Was heisst: sich im Denken orientieren? offers us extremely interesting indications as to how it is possible to orient oneself at the boundaries of reasonI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
