Abstract

ORONO, Matías Hernán. Incongruent counterparts and one's own body in kant's transcendental idealism. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2017, vol.66, n.163, pp.153-176. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v66n163.48774.

The article argues that the Kantian theory of space, in the context of transcendental idealism, constitutes an adequate framework to resolve the paradox of incongruent counterparts. Two hypotheses are considered: a) the Kantian solution implies a reference to the awareness of one's corporeity in order to understand how we have the capacity to orient ourselves in space; b) there is no contradiction in the Kantian use of incongruent counterparts throughout the different stages of his thought. The Kantian solution of 1768 is a germinal version of the development leading up to the transcendental idealist theory of space as a form of our sensibility.

Keywords : I. Kant; incongruent counterparts; body; space.
