In this paper, my aim is to show how Kant’s account of personhood fundamentally differs from those defended by the early readers of his philosophy at the end of the eighteenth century. I will argue that this difference is due to the coexistence of two different ways of considering the characteristics upon which the definition of “human being” (Mensch) rests, at the apogee of the Enlightenment and the dawn of idealism in Germany.

Abstract

In this paper, my aim is to show how Kant’s account of personhood fundamentally differs from those defended by the early readers of his philosophy at the end of the eighteenth century. I will argue that this difference is due to the coexistence of two different ways of considering the characteristics upon which the definition of “human being” (Mensch) rests, at the apogee of the Enlightenment and the dawn of idealism in Germany.
