Abstract
Blumenberg's phenomenology of the history of concepts couldn't overlook Kantian inventions to escape the dead ends of metaphysics. Kant constitutes a decisive help in mapping the ruptures of Modern Age. On the one hand, the cosmogonical essays of the precritical period illustrate reason's typically modern self-assertion. On the other hand, the transcendental turn stands for a radicalization of Modern Age towards the Enlightenment. But Blumenberg also pays attention to what, in Kant, disturbs the modern project of reason's self-authorization. Transcendental philosophy always calls for a new beginning, because it anticipates its possible failure.
