Sobre as Resenhas de Kant às Ideias para uma filosofia da história da humanidade, de Herder

It is intended to propose, in this paper, a reading of Kant’s Reviews to Herder’s Outlines of a philosophy of the history of man. By understanding some of Kant’s main objections to this work, we will be able to comprehend the most essential differences between the philosophical projects of both authors. We shall see that, unlike Kant’s opinions (whose interpretation of the Outlines is indeed very ungenerous), Herder also contributed, in his way, to the reconsideration of metaphysics.
