Abstract The task of this article is to explore whether Kant developed his insights into reason on the basis of a pre-conceptual paradigm and to explain the functions assumed in this paradigm by metaphorical devices. As far as methods are concerned, the author refers to Lichtenberg’s ideas concerning paradigmatic cognition, but also to Blumenberg, who conceded important functions of orientation to pre-conceptual constructions of knowledge. Starting from the metaphor of a tree of knowledge, Kant develops a paradigm, which includes analogies with the natural sciences of the Modern era. Kant’s reasoning also refers to the paradigm of the courtroom hearing. The author considers that both paradigms are essential to the foundation of Kant’s concept of reason.

康德的理性概念

摘要本文的任务是探讨康德是否在概念前范式的基础上发展了对理性的见解，并通过隐喻手段解释了该范式所承担的功能。就方法而言，作者提到了利希滕贝格关于范式认知的思想，但也提到了布卢曼伯格，后者将取向的重要功能承认为知识的概念前建构。康德从知识树的隐喻开始，发展出一种范式，其中包括与现代自然科学的类比。康德的推理还涉及法庭聆讯的范例。作者认为，这两种范式对于康德理性概念的基础都是必不可少的。
