Kant e Darjes. Fra logica ed ars inveniendi

[Autom. eng. transl.] As often happens with imposing traditions such as the Wolffian one, the more or less orthodox subsidiaries and epigones are often recalled, in different contexts, sometimes to emphasize the strict observance of Auctoritas, sometimes in an attempt to identify the harbingers of a culmination with a real revolution like, in the present case, Kantian Criticism. Joachim Georg Darjes, a undoubtedly multifaceted figure of the Schulphilosophie and Schultheologie, does not seem to escape this general rule, to the point that the voice dedicated to him by Claus Bernet in the Biographisch-Bibliographisches Kirkenlexikon opens with the titles of jurist, philosopher, economist, enlightenment, theologian luterano1. The endless and varied production of Darjes is the best proof of this plurality of interests2, which on the other hand does not represent a unicum in the German eighteenth century, but can create some problems when it comes to measuring the effective influence on an author from the readings equally disparate, as was Kant.
