| Sumario: | This article aims to present and analyze the concept of unconscious representation in the aesthetic sphere in Kant using the example of musical fantasy. Unconscious representations constitute a topic debated by Kant, especially in the writings of Anthropology and refer to the unconscious cognitive activity present in the faculties of understanding, reason and imagination.

In addition to anexample, the recurrence of the example in Kant reflects his theorization andunderstanding of unconscious aesthetic representations as a broad andpositive field. |
