MESSINA, Aïcha Liviana. Did Kant Have a Dog? On Kant’s Dog. About El can de Kant. En torno a Borges, la filosofía y el tiempo de la traducción, by David E. Johnson. []. , 69, 6, pp.19-26.   10--2021. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v69n6supl.90088.

This article aims to show how in Kant’s Dog philosophy can be questioned by literature, and what kind of critical or deconstructive operation the later enables. In particular, it shows that the problem of imagination and time in Kant are focused on the experience of memory and translation in Borges. Finally, the article suggests that while imagination enables the conformation of objects, and therefore the possibility of having a dog, the literature opens to other forms of territorialities, of relationships, and of assumption of the body (for example when petting a cat).
