metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Over the last two decades there has been a growing interest in the transcendental dialectic of
  Critique of Pure Reason in Germany. Authors, however, often do not pay enough attention to
  the fact that Kant’s theory of reason (in the narrow sense) and the concept of ideas derived
  from it is not limited to this text. The purpose of this article is to compare and analyze the
  functionality of mind as a subjective ability developed by Kant and Fichte with the Hegelian
  expansion of the mind to the idea of universal rationality. The relevance of such a comparison
  is connected with the need to demonstrate how the Hegelian paradigm of absolute rationality
  causes either the subsequent rejection of reason as a philosophical principle in the 19th and
  20th centuries counter-discourse, or reduction of reason to the concept of pragmatic rationality.
  In the first part of this paper, the author intends to differentiate between at least 7 different
  types of ideas and their functions in Kant’s works. In the second part, he demonstrates how
  Fichte tries to systematize them beginning with reason, which at first creates an idea of itself.
  Special attention is paid to the way that Fichte categorizes them with the help of 5 spheres of
  action or 5 worldviews. The third and final part of the article discusses how Hegel goes beyond
  the frame of the transcendental philosophy of consciousness using different demands
  linked to the concepts of “reason” and “ideas”. Although these requirements are not found in
  Kant and Fichte, they entail a set of difficulties, which the author considers in conclusion. The
  author’s interpretation of the theory of ideas and their functions in Kant, Fichte and Hegel
  demonstrates the dynamic character of the theories of reason in classical German philosophy,
  as well as the relevance of the 7 types of ideas that retain their significance for philosophy of
  the 21st century.
