SANCHEZ MADRID, NURIA. PASSIONS AND THEIR FATE. AN EXAMINATION OF EMOTIONS IN KANT'S LECTURES ON ANTHROPOLOGY. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, suppl.1, pp.109-132. ISSN 0120-0062.

The article carries out an analysis of Kant's examination of passions in the 1798 Anthropology and the courses taught on the subject, in which passion and the cultivation of practical reason display an ambiguous relationship, to the point of thinking that perhaps no moral culture can permanently suppress the perversion of projecting selfish statements as a universal point of view. On the other hand, it contrasts the association established by Kantian anthropology between the discourse of passion and the imposition of the irrevocable authority of reason with Freud's meta-psychological study of the manifestations of the super-ego. Thus, the article focuses specifically on the capacity of practical freedom to annul itself, on the capacity of passion to supersede reason as the faculty that issues mandates, and, finally, on the pernicious effects that passion's mode of reasoning has on the application and extension of law in a human community.
