GONZALEZ VALLEJOS, Miguel  y  MOLINA CANTO, Eduardo. The Subject Before the Law Consciousness of the Moral Law and Faktum of Reason in Kant. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2018, n.55, pp.275-297. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i55.934.

In this work, we shall analyze two aspects regarding what Kant considers the fundamental principle of practical reason. First, we shall try to show that the fundamental practical principle necessarily implies a sort of suspension of any subjective principle of action, that is, of the guiding function proper to maxims. This would be a first moment of negativity inherent to the consciousness of the Moral law within us. Secondly, we shall also attempt to show that the consciousness of this law in-volves the recognition of our original inadequacy with respect to it, and that this inadequacy is necessarily felt as a peculiar type of pain, a negative feeling as unique and original as it is unique and original the fact of the law's consciousness. This would be a second moment of negativity, this time related to the agent's own practical identity.

Palabras llave : Kant; Faktum of reason; moral feeling; categorical imperative.
