Abstract

ALTAMIRANO, Manuel. La condición de la aporía y la apuesta kantiana. Tópicos [online]. 2011, n.21. ISSN 1666-485X.

In this paper I look over the contemporary (poststructuralist) constitution of what can be called the aporetic condition of our philosophical thought, mainly based on Jaques Derrida's and Ernesto Laclau's works, as well as the constitution of this special condition in Immanuel Kant's Trascendental Dialectic (Critique of Pure Reason). Focusing on this subject, (1) I analize the wager whereby Kant opens a way to break through the imposibilty of any resolution implied by this antinomy, a bet that leads to his practical philosophy, and (2) I check out the relation between this apory and the foundational concept of the unconditional (Unbedingt). In a final section, I establish five main diferences that our age demands regarding this kantian proposal, explaining why and on which particular moment of the kantian philosophy we should interrupt the unity of the system, preserving the attitude and the performative decision whereby he opens a way through the antinomy, but rejecting such concepts as duty or categorical imperative, concepts that should be replaced by new ones, more in agreement with our present constrictions.
