Resumo

The paper discusses Kant’s views on the alleged tone of superiority in philosophy, a topic which the philosopher directly addressed in the paper called On a recently prominent tone of superiority in philosophy. It attempts to provide a somewhat systematic approach regarding this particular subject, while also connecting it to pivotal themes in Kant’s philosophy, like philosophy as labor, enlightenment, knowledge (and wisdom) within the limits of theoretical reason and perpetual peace.
