Abstract

OYARZUN R, Pablo. Event and teleology a clue to the "reading" of kant in kleist. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2017, vol.66, n.163, pp.299-309. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v66n163.61802.

The article addresses Heinrich von Kleist's so-called Kantkrise, understood as the epistemological collapse of any possibility of access to the thing-in-itself, given its radically undecidable nature. However, that impossibility maintains a negative validity as a gap that takes on the character of an event and, therefore, of the sovereignty of contingency in Kleist. This becomes the fundamental principle of Kleist's literary production (drama, narrative and essay), as expressed in his motto "the fragile order of the world", that is, the fragile constitution of the subject and the constant imminence of its destitution.

Keywords : H. von Kleist; I. Kant; contingency; thing-in-itself; event; subject.
