Abstract:

Kant’s Dreams of a Spirit-Seer Elucidated by the Dreams of Metaphysics (1766) drew a mixed reaction from Kant’s contemporaries, many of whom were confused by its tone. More recent commentators still find it difficult to identify Kant’s precise position on a number of important issues. This article uses Remarks in the “Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime” as the key to understanding Dreams. Kant was “set right” by Rousseau, and this setting right involved Kant’s entering into a dynamic of attraction and repulsion with Rousseau’s insights – a dynamic that results in one’s finding one’s place. This dynamic of attraction and repulsion is best understood in terms of R. Girard’s mimetic theory.
