The concept of analogy, in his teoretical and practical function, will be examined in this course, as a key for the comprehension of Kant's philosophy of history. A rethinking of the transcendental status of the analogy as a gradual passage between sensible and suprasensible will allow the comprehension of history based on the continuity founded on the teleological method.
