The current issue considers the logical parameters of life and the living in their respective determinations in Kant and in Hegel. These two different approaches and philosophical methods are examined through the term „form“ and its respective conceptions in order to show, on the one hand, the immanent relation of life and form, which in turn refers elementarily to thinking and its systematic foundations − in Kant it is space and substance and in Hegel idea and objectivity − in order (...) to, on the other hand, reveal to what extent the handling of the „supersensory principle“ differs in the philosophy of Hegel and Kant, which is the condition for the determination of time and perseverance in both Kant and Hegel, which in turn affects the concepts of life and the living and their relation to form.
