Abstract

The purpose of this article is to approach the hermeneutic reading of Kantian work proposed by Mario Caimi, for whom symbolism is the base of his metaphysical approach. We will begin by pointing out the unique interpretive character of humans and that this is at the base of the capacity for symbolism that they posess. Subsequently, we will create a succinct explanation of how analogies work in the process of the symbolic hypothesis. We will end with an approach to the character of limitation that the symbol possesses, and that, according to Caimi, is fundamental in the development of Kantian metaphysics.
