Abstract

This work tries to reflect about the treatment of the Enlightenment done by two philosophers that belong to different historical moments: Immanuel Kant en “Beantwortung der Frage: Was ist Aufklärung?” (“Answer to the question: ¿What is the Enlightenment?”), and Michel Foucault in “Qu’est-ce que les Lumières?” (“¿What is the Enlightenment?”). It tries to investigate about which is the analysis that Foucault makes about Kant at the same time that treats in that text the same problematic that concerned the German philosopher in his time but from a more contemporary point of, extra poling key Kantian concepts to develop that what Foucault has called “ontology of the present”.
