Towards the end of the eighties there was a new upheaval in Kant’s philosophical views. On the whole he maintained the positions developed in the critical philosophy, but he refined his perspective on a series of essential issues (sometimes with decisive changes). The first of those was the problem of metaphysics. The Critique of Pure Reason had left the question open. On the one hand Kant had demonstrated convincingly that metaphysics was impossible as a theoretical discipline. On the other hand, he had announced a programme for the development of a new metaphysics as the science of supersensible entities (God, the immortality of soul). Kant’s love of metaphysics was of too long a standing and too steady a purpose to allow a quick and painless divorce. |
