Reflections on the Nature of Logic in Kant

Currently, there persists an argument between those who defend the existence of logical truths, understood as «logical facts or objects», and those who think that logic consists of «rules», the nature of which allows for the preservation of a property under a particular group of transformations. This paper has basically the purpose of rummaging about these problems through the Kantian conception of logic from a historical-constructive perspective. To that end, we begin by sketching the most significant contributions to the domain of logical investigation prior to Kant´s approach, with the purpose of becoming clear as to whether this philosopher has introduced any important changes regarding the nature of logic.
