Reason and its Bedürfnis

Lara Scaglia

Resumen

In this article I argue that the notion of Bedeutung (meaning, sense) in Kant is closely related to that of Bedürfnis (need) and that the former can be better understood by clarifying the latter. After an initial overview of the needs of reason in general, I will focus on the two directions of this need in order to state that they characterise reason and make it local. By this I mean that reason, while aspiring to wholeness, only functions adequately within a limited framework. It is from the cooperation of both directions of reason’s needs that meaning develops.
