MOSCON, Pablo. The critique of prejudice in the German enlightenment and its reception in the work of kant. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2017, vol.66, n.165, pp.147-170. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v66n165.53434.

The controversy over prejudices is a distinctive feature ofthe German Enlightenment. The article addresses some historical aspects of this controversy that are useful to shed light on Kant's thought. Enlightenment positions ranged from the perspective seeking to rid itself of all prejudices (Christian Thomasius), to that which allows for some prejudices and even considers them useful (Georg Friedrich Meier). The article argues that the Kantian position on the matter constitutes an effort to reconcile these perspectives, thus anticipating the distinction set forth in the "Transcendental Dialectic" between the regulative and the constitutive use of ideas.
