The research consists of a historical-systematic study of the relations established by Kant between the concepts of logic, method and metaphysics in his works published between 1760 and 1770. In order to analyse the emergence of a certain understanding that led to critical philosophy, but without presupposing its necessity as the end of Kant's path, we need to consider different aspects of the works of the period, dealing with both the characterisation of the relationships between the concepts as they appear in the texts and the form of historical appropriation of the philosophical tradition practised in Kant's writings, both aspects being linked to the systematic interests of understanding the development of his philosophy. In this sense, the research seeks to address Kant's relationship with different philosophical and scientific traditions, whose authors are studied as sources, especially German metaphysicians and logicians, such as Wolff and Crusius, but also authors of European natural philosophy, such as Newton and Buffon, among others.
