On the impossibility of total error. From the question of the error in morality to the antinomy of reason

Igreda C.L. · Veritas (2023)

Resumen

The doctrine of the impossibility of total error (DITE) is an expression of the profound confidence in the possibilities of human reason that Kant subscribes to in a radical and original way. The commitment to reason requires us to stop before everything that goes against the order of our rational dispositions in order to discover the basis of error, illusory appearance and vice. If the cosmological conflict triggers the meditation on error as a paradox of the understanding, the solution of the antinomy allows us to recognise the basis of DITE in the Critique of pure reason -in the principle of the concordance of reason with itself- which would have been made explicit early on in dialogue with moral philosophy.
