Morality, world, and system unity. Wolffian influence in the mediation between theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy

This paper examines the relation between ethics and world in Kant in connection to his abandoning of Wolff's philosophy. In particular, it focuses on those elements of the Critique of the Power of Jugdment, especially the Erste Einleitung, which outline an idea of a system and mediation between nature and freedom, against the Wolffian perspective. From this standpoint, particular attention is paid to the transcendental definitions of Einheit and Grund, which deviate from the Wolffian notion of vis representativa. Finally it investigates Kant's rejection of Wolff relation between system and method: in the former it is the system that grounds the universal method, while in the latter is the opposite.
