Abstract

The article aims to reconstitute the arguments presented in the Analytic of concepts of the second edition of the Critique of pure reason, in order to investigate one of the central questions in Kant’s critical project: the foundation of the possibility of knowing. That is, more than just answering to how we know, the objective here is to understand what legitimizes the way and the possibility by which we know; in short, what founds the very possibility of knowing.
