Abstract

In this article, we develop minimally five discourses about the happiness we find in Kant's work. We hardly met them because they are not ordered or continued speeches throughout his pages, but suggestions that appears from time to time, between the lines of other reflections. Happiness is designed as totality, as an undefined concept, as the opposite corner of culture, and as feeling and wellness. Although not involving linked speeches, it is possible to follow its tracks throughout the text. However, there is another suggestion that Kant gives us without having developed entirely: according to that, happiness would be the ideal of imagination. This non pronounced speech could be the key to find consistency of others.En este artículo intentamos desarrollar mínimamente los cinco discursos sobre la felicidad que hemos encontrado en la obra de Kant. Los hemos encontrado con dificultad, porque no se trata de discursos ordenados ni continuados a lo largo de sus páginas, sino más bien de sugerencias que van apareciendo de vez en cuando al hilo de otras reflexiones. La felicidad se dibuja como totalidad, como un concepto indeterminado, como el polo opuesto a la cultura, como sentimiento y como bien. Aunque no se trate de discursos bien enlazados, es posible seguirles la pista a lo largo de los textos. No obstante, hay otra sugerencia que Kant nos proporciona y que él mismo no desarrolla en absoluto: según ella la felicidad sería el ideal de la imaginación. Este sexto discurso no pronunciado tal vez pudiera suministrar la clave que nos sirva para encontrar la coherencia de los demás
