Abstract

The paper discusses some thematic issues that emerge from the Kantian study of diseases of cognition and volition, taking into consideration his anthropological works and some problems emerging from his main critical works. Starting from the explanation of the taxonomy of the main mental illnesses (and their causes), some epistemological themes will be illustrated, linked to the fallible relationship between transcendental truths and the empirical dimension of knowledge and to the Kantian concept of error. Subsequently, the study of affects and passions, conceived as illnesses of volition, will show the difficulties linked to a total involvement of reason in moral action, concerning the shortcomings of human action with respect to the principle of responsibility. Finally, the paper will focus on the role of legal imputability in relation to moral responsibility and to mental diseases.

康德论精神疾病、情感与道德责任

本文结合康德的人类学著作和他主要批评著作中出现的一些问题，讨论了康德对认知和意志疾病研究中出现的几个主题问题。从解释主要精神疾病的分类（及其原因）开始，将说明一些认识论主题，这些主题与先验真理与知识的经验维度之间的易错关系以及康德的错误概念有关。随后，对情感和激情的研究，被认为是意志疾病，将显示与理性完全参与道德行为有关的困难，涉及人类行为在责任原则方面的缺陷。最后，本文将重点讨论法律责任在道德责任和精神疾病方面的作用。

期刊介绍： Con-Textos Kantianos aims at boosting the philological and critical research on Kant studies, considering also actual discussions on Kant''s thought. That is the reason why its heading hints to contexts with texts. Kant shall be the main focus of the journal, which will tackle subjects such as Moral and Political Philosophy, History of Ideas, Philosophy of Right, Philosophy of History, Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy of Education, Aesthetics, Anthropology, Metaphysics and Epistemology, Human Rights, Social Policy, Theories of Justice and Cosmopolitanism. CTK aims at being an international and cosmopolitan inspired e-journal, where the Spanish language receives equal acknowledgement as English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese do. The main purposes of the journal are to enhance the development of a Kant scholarship network at the Latin American scale and to tighten the links between research groups already consolidated in different countries and languages. The editorial team, which gathers Kant scholars from Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Spain, will certainly ease the fulfillment of both purposes.
