A Revolução Copernicana de Kant

Abstract

Kant's Copernican Revolution, the title of this work, essentially intends to describe the relevance in the history of the philosophy of transformation proposed by Immanuel Kant in approaching knowledge of the universe. This approach inverts the means of investigation: it no longer dwells on existing things in the world, but instead turns to the investigation of the human mind itself. Kant, when elaborating the Critique of Pure Reason, reconciles, in an innovative way, the contrary positions of empiricists and idealists, both predominant at the time.
