Abstract

SCHERER, Fábio César. Formal logic as the antechamber of transcendental philosophy. Nat. hum. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp. 31-52. ISSN 1517-2430.

In this article, it is intended to explain the role of formal logic in the Kantian critical project. In addressing this issue, it will be considered the relationship between formal logic, often called by Kant as general logic, and transcendental logic. It will be assumed that formal logic and transcendental logic are two pure, distinct, independent but interconnected rational sciences, despite readings that suggest that transcendental logic replaces formal logic or that formal logic maintains its own existence, but must be subordinated to transcendental logic. In the formal logic characterization, it will be mainly used the Jäsche-Logik. As for transcendental logic, presented in Kritik der reinen Vernunft, it will be used Loparic's semantic reading to deal with the metaphysical knowledge of nature. The article begins by pointing out the proximity of Kant to formal logic and its use in the elaboration of the critical project.

Keywords : transcendental logic; formal logic; truth criteria; semantics.
