Abstract

This paper aims to reconstruct the idea of a human nature in Kant through the operation of the cognitive faculties. To accomplish this task, we will problematize the sensitivity from the point of view of head’s diseases, which allow us to understand the functioning of human nature from the cognitive faculties. Investigating human nature, through cognitive faculties, means that we will interrogate it about the prospect of what are the material conditions that make possible the feasibility of a priori synthetic propositions. The advantages of this approach are: I) allows understanding how the material substrate changes the judgmental operations and how these delimit it; ii) authorizes to classify different levels of sensitivity operations.
