O problema da linguagem no discurso filosófico kantiano como questão político-jurídica

This paper presents some elements for a political-legal interpretation of the philosophical language in and following Kant ́s philosophy. Kant conceives of the distinctiveness of his own method of presentation, or at least the one he considers the most appropriate in philosophy, as a language issue which is formulated, curiously, according to political-legal paradigms: the possibility of communicability of thought refuses the use of a “lordly tone”, be it in a pedantic dogmatism which suppresses the sensibility or in a sentimental enthusiasm which arrogates to itself a godly language that hampers the universalism presupposed in everyshared expression of knowledge. The aim of this paper is to introduce some passages in which Kant outlines this analogy and lays down, in political-legal terms, the conditions of possibility for a free and public use of reason under the form of a language question.
