Esboços de categorias no direito privado kantiano
Abstract
The existence of the categorical procedure on private law in Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Rechtslehre, albeit small, is unquestionable, as well as its importance for the construction of the possession theory. An additional proof to the fragments of the first part of the natural right (cf. MS R, AB 59, 79, 82, 90, 93, 119-121) are the categorical outlines included in Rechtslehre manuscripts (particularly, in Vorarbeiten zum Privatrecht and in Zusammenhängender, signierter Entwurf in Kant's handschriflicher Nachlaß). The objectives of this paper are: 1) to show the internal coherence among the private law categorical outlines in Vorarbeiten zur Rechtslehre, and 2) to present the relation between these outlines and the legal text of 1797. The parameter of evaluation and comparison will be the Kantian observations concerning the categories in Kritik der reinen Vernunft and Kritik der praktischen Vernunft works.
