About the JournalAbstract
Our research has addressed some theoretical questions exposed in the debate about the issue of subjectivity through a nonlinear inspection of Kant’s contemporary readings. Starting from the hypothesis that the treatment of the multiple aspects of this matter requires taking into account the tension between unity (of experience) and conflict (of involved faculties and instances), we focused this relationship in current readings of critical philosophy. Attending to the multiple objections to the notion of subject from modern rationalist tradition, we attempted to overcome the limitations and paradoxes of this concept through a revision of the conditions of possibility for the constitution of subjectivity and of the cultural relations where its experience inserts. This revision has allowed an estimation of the kantian philosophy’s contributions to the current discussion on the issue of subjectivity and their projections on the epistemological, ethical, political and educational fields.
