From the Critique of Pure Reason to Being and Time. The Influence of Kant’s Philosophical Project on Martin Heidegger

Abstract

In this research we will try to make explicit to what extent Being and Time is a kind of attempt to take up again, in a correct way, the original philosophical project that Kant unfolded in his Critique of Pure Reason. In order to justify our conjecture, we will focus especially on Heidegger’s Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics (1929). In this text we will find a controversial interpretation that the MeΒkirch thinker developed of Immanuel Kant’s opus magnum. This interpretation could suggest that his Being and Time would not only be twinned with the Critique of Pure Reason, but that it would be a correct continuation of the path traced there by the philosopher from Königsberg.
