Resumo: In addition to its intense and innovative cosmological dialogue with predecessors, Kant’s Theory of the Heavens (1755) and its systematising goal tell us something more about the young Kant’s thoughts concerning humanity and the world. We intend 1) to show how Kant’s approach to the question of the order of the universe finds a middle path between the extremes of theology and naturalism; b) to show how purposiveness [Zweckmäβigkeit] exemplifies this middle path, and how this progressive resistance is a theoretical device to which Kant would frequently resort; c) to examine the extent to which the discernment of purposiveness and its theoretical order are felt by us as a singular aesthetic pleasure.

Nos proponemos a) investigar cómo piensa Kant la cuestión del orden del universo, entre los extremos de la teología y del naturalismo; b) mostrar cómo la conformidad a un fin [Zweckmäβigkeit] es la imagen de esa vía media, y cómo la resistencia progresiva es un dispositivo teórico al que Kant va a recurrir siempre; c) investigar hasta qué punto el discernimiento de la Zweckmäβigkeity del orden teórico consiguiente son sentidos por el hombre como un singular placer estético.The project leading to this application has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programmeUniversidad de NavarraRepositório da Universidade de LisboaSilva, Fernando M.
