Abstract

The article intends to localize and to present a possible solution to the following question: what are the reason and the origin of the philosophic awakening for the critic stance? Then, it is analyzed the relation between the antinomic conflict of the reason and its influence in the origin of critic philosophy, highlighting the function that the Hume’s skepticism may have assumed in Kant’s philosophical awakening. In this context, it is looked for clearing a possible textual conflict (that Allison qualifies as a strange thing in Kant’s handiwork) between the antinomies of reason and the knowing Kant’s confession that identifies David Hume as the one who aroused him of his dogmatic slumber.
