The reason in «aesthetic turn» of philosophy (the kantian rationality)

Abstract

In what follows I intend to examine, under philosophical point of view, the aesthetic turn. I develop the following supposition: the aesthetic turn is in center of the philosophical argument today. Kant’s rationality is the mark in which I carry out this study. In section 1, I examine the notions implied in the expression «possess reason». The result of this exam shows the game of four concepts: ground, cause, power and right. In section 2, I analyze the game of the reason in Aristotle and in Kant, opposing both paradigms. In section 3, I study the Kantian inheritance in current argument about reason. Lastly, in section 4, I outline «the removal of head» from Kantian system of reason. I conclude that this «removal» describes the current event of the reason known as «aesthetic turn».
