IRACHETA FERNANDEZ, FRANCISCO. Practical and Transcendental Freedom in the Critique of Pure Reason. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2012, vol.61, n.150, pp.91-125. ISSN 0120-0062.

The article discusses the connection between practical and transcendental freedom in the Critique of Pure Reason, in order to reveal the difficulties faced by Kant when he relates these two meanings of freedom in the context of critical philosophy. Interpreters have generally understood the relation between these two meanings of freedom as ontological or conceptual. The objective of this article, however, is to show that neither of those interpretations manages to overcome the rationalist and empiricist dogmatism that, according to Kant, support the positions of the proponents of the Thesis and the Antithesis, respectively.

Keywords : I. Kant; practical freedom; transcendental freedom.
