El no-ser se da de muchas maneras: la tabla kantiana de la nada ante la fenomenología de la donación

Abstract

In the present study, we try to apply the categories of the recent French phenomenology of donation to the four possible figures of the nothingness established by Kant at the end of his “Trascendental Analytic”. In this way, each one of such figures are examined in order to show the peculiar way of givenness that they adopt when it comes to appearing and revealing. The question concerning “not-being-yet” implicitly contained in the concept of “possibility” is also broached, taking into account Kant´s “ontological” theory in which Being is identified with the absolute “position” of a thing. To conclude, the anthropological implications derived from the phenomenological consideration of the four Kantian types of nothingness are shown.
