Perspectiva, unidad y alcance de las críticas kantianas a dos interpretaciones de “existe”: Kritik der reinen Vernunft A592-602/B602-630 (I)

Abstract

This essay interprets KrV A592-602/B620-630 not only as a place where Kant intends to refute the ontological argument, but rather as one where he faces a more radical question: how can the human understanding —considered from a logical-general point of view— predicate existence? This first part specifically analyzes the refutation of the ontological argument. The analysis will conclude that a faculty different from the understanding is also required for knowledge of the existent as such.
