Analysis of the concept of nature in Kant
Nature; suprasensible; organic totality.
The present work seeks to analyze the concept of nature in Immanuel Kant's work, for this, we are going to initiate with the mechanical-causal concept, which is established in the critique of pure reason, as a fundamental presupposition to deal with issues such as the possibility of knowledge and the science, afterwards we address the concept of suprasensible nature expressed in the critique of practical reason, with which Kant demonstrates that certain natural forms of behavior cannot be circumscribed or reduced to a mechanical-causal schema, conclusion which if is not properly understood can lead to the separation between the sensible and supersensible worlds. In the second critique, it is presented to us only that these worlds are not contradictory, but the resolution to this apparent ambiguity will be developed through of the concept of nature as organic totality that is present in the critique of the Power of Judgment, which presents itself as a regulative principle of the understanding capable of unifying the previous meanings of nature or the sensible and intelligible worlds. With these established concepts we inquire about the possibility of a fourth concept present in the complexity of the all organizing relationship between man and nature ,resulting from this analysis we understand that a fourth concept could not sustain itself from the idea of complexity, but through this idea, we are directed to defend a concept of nature that we construct by molding the character of the species to act in accordance with the ideas of the pure practical reason, that is, the human being (species) presents a character which is formed by himself and if it is formed by him, so it can be modified, it can be improve aiming at the moral enhancement. One nature which is articulate with the man to produce in him one moral nature worthy of happiness.
