ABSTRACT
Throughout Kant’s writings runs another perspective on life, the main concepts of which are not those we have encountered so far, and which are critically examined in the Critique of the Power of Judgment. On the contrary, I will be dealing here with considerations on the living from a psychological point of view, as indicated by the pervasiveness of the term “soul” (taken from Baumgarten, whose textbooks formed the basis of Kant’s lectures on metaphysics). I shall now briefly sketch out this other image of life, showing to what extent it is related to some of the conceptions of the living that I have examined.
