Kant e l’immortalità dell’anima

The paper proposes a short discussion of Kant’s critical conception of the immortality of the human soul which relates rational psychology to a philo-sophical eschatology in practical intent. This view is differently accounted for in the Critique of pure reason and in the Critique of practical reason. The shift from the idea of the future life required for the realization of the high-est good to the idea of an endless progress of personal morality indicates an internal unresolved problematicity in Kant’s approach to this issue, but can be also understood as a symptom of the wrestling of modern thought with the aporias of the dualism of phaenomenal and noumenal world, temporality and eternity
