A Teoria Dinâmica da Matéria na filosofia kantiana da natureza

Abstract

Immanuel Kant in work Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Naturwissenschaft (Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science) presents the concept of natural science as a systematical doctrine ordered according to principles. These principles can be pure or empirical and then can found a proper or improper natural science. Proper natural science requires metaphysics of nature as basis. This metaphysis is composed by general metaphysics of nature resulting from Kritik der reinen Vernunft (Critique of Pure Reason) and by special metaphysics of corporeal nature developed in Metaphysical Foundations. The first establishes the transcendental principles (Axioms, Anticipations, Analogies and Postulates) as necessary determinations of all possible experience and constitutes the concept of object in general. The second provides the metaphysical foundations (Phoronomy, Dynamics, Mechanics and Phenomenology) as necessary determinations of outer sense and constitutes the concept of matter in general. These metaphysical foundations ensure the a priori basis to the ground of proper natural science as from the application of the transcendental principles to the concept of matter. The aim of this dissertation is investigates the constitution of this concept of matter as from Dynamical Theory of repulsive and attractive moving forces. For this, we will analyses the relationship between the transcendental principle of Anticipations of Perception and the metaphysical foundation of Dynamics.
