The Plessner renaissance beginning in the 1990s, however, has brought with it a stronger focus on the methodological construction of his theory, so that the Kant connection has at least been acknowledged, but the particular relevance of Kant's Critique of Judgement (Kant 1790/2007) has not been systematically explicated. In this essay, I investigate the connection between Kant's notion of reflective—specifically teleological—judgment and Plessner's theory. I begin by setting out the characteristics of teleological judgment, with two points being of particular importance: the temporal structure of the final cause and Kant's reference to an understanding other than the human, that is, to an ordering power other than the human. In a second step, I work out Plessner's conceptualization of the spatiotemporal appearance of organisms and the way he understands the other of human understanding as nature's—or history's—historically evolved and mutable capacity for self-order. He arrives at these conclusions by way of a methodologically controlled process of questioning derived from Kant, which he calls the "principle of the open question.” Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht, 2014 Plessner nationallicence Kant nationallicence Open question nationallicence Philosophical anthropology nationallicence Critique of judgement nationallicence Living beings nationallicence Life nationallicence Teleological judgement nationallicence Ethical Theory and Moral Practice Springer Netherlands 18/5(2015-11-01), 891-907 1386-2820 18:5<891 2015 18 10677 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10677-014-9503-2 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10677-014-9503-2 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Lindemann Gesa Institut für Sozialwissenschaften, Carl von Ossietzky Universität, Ammerländer Heerstr. 114-118, 26129, Oldenburg, Germany aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Ethical Theory and Moral Practice Springer Netherlands 18/5(2015-11-01), 891-907 1386-2820 18:5<891 2015 18 10677
