Transcendentes ou transcendentais? Um ensaio sobre Kant e o erro dos escolásticos

The term “transcendental” has been of fundamental importance to the discussions produced in the many fields of Contemporary Philosophy. This is mostly due to the fact that Kant’s philosophy has been the undeniable and constant reference to authors from the 19th to the 21st century. Hence is derived the problematic projection of the notion of “transcendental” over the philosophy of medieval scholastic authors. Although the latter would use the term “transcendent”, they did not even know the term “transcendental”. The confusion of both could not be any more harmful to the reading of medieval authors.
