«Contro la nostra volontà». L'incidenza di Sulzer nella riflessione kantiana sulle rappresentazioni oscure

This paper aims to highlight Johann Georg Sulzer’s influence on the Kantian conception of unconscious representations. The Kant-Forschung, so far, has focused on Baumgarten and Meier as Kant’s main references on the issue. Through a careful analysis of the development of Sulzer’s position and his critique of earlier analyses of the fundus animae, we want to show the way in which that critique was important for Kant, especially in relation to overcoming the theories of Baumgarten and Meier themselves.
