CONCEPTELE OPUSULUI POSTUM
The Concepts of Opus postumum

Summary/Abstract: We retraced the framework of Kant’s Opus postumum from the view of its concepts, as well as of their critical antecedents. In this way we have pointed out a less highlighted aspect, which completes and enforces the idea of building up of a whole, Kant asked for his philosophical system. In front of it he puts the full man, who cultivating his rationality can attain the state of wisdom, which resembles him to God. On this way, which intertwines with the investigation of nature from metaphysics to physics, he is determined to use sometimes weak concepts subsumable to heuristic concepts, which lend support to the ostensive ones, putting better in the light his strong, rational concepts and their need for completion; and mainly pointing out his conceptus cosmicus, assimilable to the concept of his whole system, as well as to the ideal of a philosopher-wise man, destined to attain it.
