Epigénesis y validez: El papel de la embriología en el programa transcendental de Kant (2005)
This paper explores the meaning of the biological terms epigenesis and preformation in Kant's intellectual development, as well as its epistemological implications. In fact, spontaneity and system, two central ideas in Kant's theory of mind, found their empirical analogy in the idea of epigenesis in nature, a notion that Kant uses to give answer to the question of the genesis and validity of the pure representations. For the author, epigenesis summarizes Kant's Copernican Revolution in the measure in which that idea illustrates the productive role of the human understanding in the constitution of experience. Keywords: A priori, Bildungstrieb, cognitive faculties, embriology, epigenesis, evolution, mind, modularity, nature, naturalization, or-ganism, preformation, transcendental idealism, system, truth, vital force.
