LEQUAN, Mai. Critic Kantian's challenge to Cartesian metaphysics as skeptical idealism. Sig. Fil [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.30, pp.9-43. ISSN 1665-1324.

The Kantian reading of Descartes is the pretext for Kant to make clarifications on his system, rather than demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the Cartesian approach. What is the role of the proposition "I think" in the kantian Philosophy? Is it possible to derive the existence of things from their knowledge? Does Kant mix the empirical realism with the transcendental realism? Which are the limits of the transcendent "I think" in confrontation with the transcendental "I think"? In this article, it is analyze the differences between the two editions of the Critique of the Pure Reason (1781 and 1787) and the Prolegomena to any future metaphysic (1783) in order to suggest how the disagreement between Kant and Descartes let him to be more accurate with his Philosophy.

Keywords : Kant's refutation of Descartes; metaphysics; transcendental idealism; skeptical idealism; seventeenth century philosophy.
