    The aim of the present paper is to expose in its fundamental moments Fichte’s deduction of time and space as pure forms of the intuition and, therefore, as condition of possibility of a theory of anticipations of perception. I will focus on one of the different versions of this deduction we can find in the work of this German philosopher between 1795 and 1814, namely, the time and space deduction presented in Fichte’s Outline of the Distinctive Character of the Doctrine of Knowledge with Respect…Read more

    Is the radical character of Spinoza’s political philosophy only a historiographic matter or are his considerations on the politics and the political still radical today? Which elements of his political thought can be considered as radical in our present? I think that these questions need to be posed when one attempts at thinking of the actuality of Spinoza’s philosophy and in particular, of Spinoza’s Tractatus theologico-politicus (from now on TTP). In the following pages I tend to give an initi…Read more

    Nature and perpetual peace in Kant and Fichte’s cosmopolitanism
    Anuario Filosófico 52 (1): 9-17. 2019.
    This is a comparative study of the concept of nature in Kant and Fichte’s proposals for perpetual peace. I will argue that Kant and Fichte’s ideas of perpetual peace present two very different ways of dealing with nature: whereas Kant’s proposal consists of administrating the natural unsociable inclinations of human beings, departing from the assumption that the unsociable sociability of men is not only inherent to human nature but also the motor of the historical progress of humanity, Fichte, o…Read more

    El presente artículo analiza la deducción fichteana de la categorías en el Fundamento de toda la doctrina de la ciencia de 1794/95 a la luz de la comprensión que tiene Fichte, durante los años de la génesis y publicación de esta obra, acerca de su relación con la filosofía kantiana con respecto a la cuestión de las categorías. Se argumenta que la deducción fichteana de las categorías en esta obra de 1794/95 transforma la tabla kantiana de las categorías en una tríada de tríadas en la que la dete…Read more

    Este trabajo está dedicado a la defensa y elaboración de una orientación ontológico fenomenológica, fundada en la teoría del campo de la conciencia y de los órdenes de existencia de Aron Gurwitsch. Se propone una discusión del concepto de “existencia” al interior del dominio fenomenológico.

    "Schiller versus Fichte" ist die Geschichte eines Widerstreits zwischen Sinn-Konstellationen im Kern der post-kantischen Philosophie. Die Originalitat dieser neuen Interpretation des Verhaltnisses zwischen Schiller und Fichte liegt darin, dass der Fokus - im Gegenteil zu den bisherigen Interpretationen - auf den agonistischen Charakter des Verhaltnisses liegt. Die agonistische Rekonstruktion dieses Ereignisses der Geschichte der abendlandischen Philosophie zeigt, dass der Ursprung des sogenannte…Read more

    En el presente artículo se analiza la estructura sistemática de la deducción de las categorías expuesta por Fichte en su Fundamento de toda la doctrina de la ciencia. Se argumentará: i) que el sistema fichteano de las categorías se articula en tres grupos categoriales compuestos cada uno de tres categorías; ii) que, a diferencia de lo que sostiene la interpretación habitual, es la determinación recíproca – y no la categoría de realidad – la categoría principal en esta deducción; iii) que tanto l…Read more

    The Controversy Between Schiller and Johann Gottlieb Fichte
    In Antonino Falduto & Tim Mehigan (eds.), The Palgrave Handbook on the Philosophy of Friedrich Schiller, Springer Verlag. pp. 497-509. 2023.
    In this chapter, Acosta shows that the well-known Horen-Dispute—the epistolary polemic in the summer of 1795 initiated by Schiller’s rejection of an article submitted by Fichte for publication in Die Horen—actually represents the tip of the iceberg in the philosophical disagreement between Schiller and Fichte. According to Acosta, this controversy is better understood as a confrontation between two ways of resolving the Kantian antinomy between freedom and necessity after Kant and after the Fren…Read more

    This is an exposition of the fundamental moments of a methodology to reconstruct the History of Western Philosophy. In this paper I give arguments to support the thesis that this methodology can serve as an alternative to both the historiography of philosophy and the a-historical and/or exclusively systematic form to analyse the past of the philosophy, which characterizes the traditional works of philosophy-scholars dedicated to the History of Philosophy

    Multitude, Public Opinion and State
    Proceedings of the XXIII World Congress of Philosophy 69 11-15. 2018.
    Despite the ideological differences among the most influential contemporary interpretations of Spinoza’s political philosophy, they all agree in considering Spinoza as a radical, subversive, revolutionary political thinker who defends the sacred inviolability of individual liberties and recognises the multitude as genuine subject of democracy. They relegate or simply ignore, however, polemic and yet central topics of the Tractatus Theologico-Politicus such as Spinoza’s negative considerations on…Read more
