Abstract

The imagination stands as the limit between nature and culture, the place where what is empirical and what is transcendental fluctuate and exist in permanent tension by making us aware of finiteness and transience. Therefore Kant will pursue the goal of creating an orbital law of desire, regulating the action of that faculty from an ideal which eludes time. That space of the universal possible from where imaginative ravings are regulated is «humanity». However, such an ideal will not escape the limit imposed by the power of imagination, as shown in his political approach to the Contract, oscillating between the acknowledgement of the dignity of formal humanity and the denial of such dignity whenever the ideal of the beautiful bourgeois soul is not achieved.
