Las (sin)razones de la esperanza en Javier Muguerza e Immanuel Kant

Abstract

The aim of this text is to highlight the Kantian influence upon the thought of Javier Muguerza, an influence which is evident in Muguerza's three «Critiques»: The Critique of Analytic Reason, The Critique of Dialogic Reason and The Critique of Oniric Reason. But Kant's influence can also be detected in the so-called «imperative of dissidence» with which Muguerza wants to render contemporary the three versions of the Kantian categorical imperative, and which also leads him to propose, in a Blochian manner, a primacy of utopia. In short, Muguerza invites us to pose again aH the famous Kantian questions, even if he is more interested in those that Kant left open, than in those which he himself replied too We have to be thankful to Muguerza for the translation of these questions into contemporary philosophical queries.
