Could it be that there is an improper use of reason? Sensibility, understanding and reason (Schelling, Baader, Jacobi
Abstract
The proposal opposes three authors (Jacobi, Baader and Schelling) in a certain moment of the history of the philosophy on having analyzed the dialog that establishes between them through their respective texts: Ueber gelehrte Gesellschaften, ihren Geist und Zweck (Jacobi, 1807); Ueber die Behauptung: dass kein uebler Gebrach der Vernunft sein könne (Baader, 1807) and Philosophische Untersuchungen über give Wesen der menschlichen Freiheit und die damit zusammenhängenden Gegenstände (Schelling, 1809), in order to answer to the question about if the reason is the causer of the evil, if can exists an evil use of it, or if evil, following the philosophical tradition, has its origin in the sensibility or in the understanding.
