Abstract

No presente trabalho são expostas e examinadas as críticas eudemonistas de Gottlob August Tittel (1739-1816) à Fundamentação da metafísica dos costumes, a partir da alusão indirecta de Kant a elas no Prefácio à Crítica da razão prática. Por outro lado, são também fornecidas em apêndice as informações, constantes na correspondência de Hamann, de que Kant com aquela primeira obra de filosofia moral preparava uma crítica ao eudemonismo similar de Garve, expresso em seus comentários ao De officiis de Cícero. O artigo fornece assim o contexto polémico de surgimento dessas obras práticas, no qual Kant não se deixou envolver directamente, mas só teórica e argumentativamente. /// The present article aims at an exposition and an examination of the eudemonistic criticisms of Gottlieb August Tittel (1739-1816) to Kant's Grundlegung der Metaphysik der Sitten. This goal shall be achieved through an indirect reference to those criticisms as they appear in the Preface to the Kritik der praktischen Vernunft On the other hand, however, the article also gives information related to the fact that, as it appears in Kant's correspondence with Hamann, in publishing his first work in the realm of moral philosophy Kant was also preparing a critical review of Garve's similar eudemonism, as it is expressed in his commentaries to Cicero's De officiis. The article offers thus the polemic context for the emergence of those Kantian works in the realm of practical philosophy, being demonstrated that Kant did not allow himself to be involved directly in them, but only in a theoretic and argumentative way.
