Juicio, ley y aplicación. Un problema central de la Crítica de la facultad de juzgar

In this article I study Kant’s doctrine of the power of judgement (aesthetic and theological). I focus on its main function of rendering possible the transition from the lawfulness of nature to the realization of practical ends. In order to do so, I analyze the concept of “spontaneity” and the principle of “purposiveness of nature”, understood as a “principle of contingency”, according to Kant’s explanation in the Critique of the Power of Judgement.
