Resumo
The paper surveys the possibility of keeping a neo-Kantian approach in the face of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). Together with a preliminary analysis of Cassirer’s re-interpretation of Kantian philosophy that allowed him to harmonize the a priori cognitions with the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics (QM), it will focus on the distinction between constitutive and regulativea priori. In this way, the paper will suggest that despite Rovelli’s refutation of Kant’s interpretation of space and time, he seems, at least implicitly, to hold to a couple of neo-Kantian assumptions: (i) the usage of constitutivea priori principlessuch as granularity, indeterminism and partially relation, (ii) and the claim for functionalism as a rule in ordering the ‘appearances’.
