Description
Summary:Even though teleological thought is only a regulatory maxim of the reflecting judgment, Kant underlines the necessity of teleological judgment for understanding the organism. There are two strategies for justifying this necessity: the fist one in § 65 of the The critique of Judgment regards the internal structure of the organism that expresses a particular causality, and the second one in § 77 regards the particular nature of our intellect, which is discursive rather than intuitive. This essay attempts to demonstrate that Kant not only identifies an ambiguous point of the principle of causality but maybe also attributes a non-teleological and purely ontological characterization to the organism.
