Sažetak
Kant’s transcendental turn of the entire philosophy also affected the philosophy of nature. The goal of his metaphysics of transcendentally founded nature is also the construction of a new physics, that is, a new science in general. In this sense, Kant’s philosophical project remains largely unfinished. In the writings Opus postumum, Kant tried to bridge the gap that remained between the a priori principles of pure reason and special empirical laws. By reflecting on the principle of purposefulness in nature, the concept of organism, but also the concept of life, Kant tried to bridge the aforementioned gap. Nevertheless, Kant remained consistent with the propositions presented in the Critique of Pure Reason, and defined the concepts of purposefulness, organism and life as regulative ideas, which as such do not say anything about the nature of the object itself, but remain ideas that are necessary for the reason to create the systematic unity in experience.
