Abstract
ROVIRA, Rogelio. Kant ante la cuestión de la pneumatología. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2011, n.41, pp.281-311. ISSN 0188-6649.
Kant seldom uses the name «pneumatology» to designate the science of the immortality of the soul. But in many occasions he deals in an original way with the concept meant by the name. In this paper the four senses in which Kant understands this concept are distinguished and explained, namely: (1) pneumatology as the idea of a possible science; (2) pneumatology as a natural disposition; (3) theoretical-dogmatic or doctrinal pneumatology; and (4) practical-dogmatic or authentic pneumatology. The different cognitive value granted by Kant to the doctrines about immortality assembled under the various senses of the concept of pneumatology is likewise considered.
Keywords : Kant; pneumatology; immortality.
