Abstract

The aim of this article is to reconstruct the distinction, central to Kant's pre-critical philosophy, between necessary natural order and contingent natural order, which is essential for defining the concept of order and understanding the specificity from which Kant situates the difference between the organic and the inorganic during this period. It is argued that, in relation to the latter, this distinction is more suited to the context and intentions of the philosopher. This differentiation is explicitly presented in 1763 in The only possible argument in support of a demonstration of the existence of God, but, as it is argued, it was already outlined in 1755 in the Universal natural history and theory of the heavens, the work whose analysis the article begins with. For this reason, the aforementioned distinction serves as both the starting point, in 1755, and the point of arrival, in 1763. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
