Denkungsart in Kant's anthropology from a pragmatic point of view

Patrick R. Frierson

pp. 643-664

Frierson address the question of how Kant sees "pragmatic anthropology." He lays out Kant's general sense of "pragmatic" and then his specific treatment of humans' "mode of thought," or Denkungsart, a concept central to the empirical investigation of human freedom. In the end, a discussion of this concept provides answers to the questions of how anthropology studies human beings "as free" and, more generally, what Kant's pragmatic anthropology is.
