The present contribution aims to investigate the way Kant deals with the relation between the individual and humankind in order to provide a complete and unitary image of the human being. According to some commentators, the reconciliation between the individual and humankind is achieved by Kant only in the Critique of the Power of Judgment by means of the structure of reflective judgement (e.g., Nobbe 1995), and it reflects a hypothesis that has long been widespread among scholars, such as Erdmann, Arnoldt, Dilthey, and Adickes. According to this view, Kant's anthropology is not a discipline in its own right, so that it is not able to answer the fundamental questions it raises.

Abstract

The present contribution aims to investigate the way Kant deals with the relation between the individual and humankind in order to provide a complete and unitary image of the human being. According to some commentators, the reconciliation between the individual and humankind is achieved by Kant only in the Critique of the Power of Judgment by means of the structure of reflective judgement (e.g., Nobbe 1995), and it reflects a hypothesis that has long been widespread among scholars, such as Erdmann, Arnoldt, Dilthey, and Adickes. According to this view, Kant's anthropology is not a discipline in its own right, so that it is not able to answer the fundamental questions it raises.
