Da Filosofia do Conhecimento de Kant à Filosofia da Ciência de Popper

Abstract

Critical rationalism is a contemporary heir to the problem set in the modernphilosophy of knowledge, both ontologically and epistemologically. The intention of thispaper is to show the deep relationship, both from the standpoint of the problem, as thetheoretical framework between these philosophies. Popper realized that Kant was notconcerned to investigate because you can see the world, but as we progress in research. Likethe view that the thesis of Kant, the distinction between metaphysics and knowledge containsthe theoretical framework to bring metaphysics to criticism. The highest identity betweenthe two conceptions in mutual consideration of rational criticism as a synonym for philosophy.Popper makes a second Copernican revolution, to the extent as proposed by Kant. While heproposed that our ideas are not guided by the world, in contrast, the driven ones, Popperproposed that progress towards the truth does not occur by demonstrating that the worldbehaves according to our ideas, rather, that our ideas are fallible discordant states of affairsin the world. Thus, contemporary philosophy is at the same time, the exacerbation of thecritical attitude of modernity and its overcoming.
