Biblical coordinates for a human map interpretations of the Adamic myth by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Immanuel Kant

This article compares the interpretations of the Adamic myth present in Genesis by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Immanuel Kant. The aim is to discover the possible links, as well as their differences. Both proposals highlight, on the biblical map, new coordinates that allow them to address the uniqueness of the human being from other creatures, through freedom of choice in the way of life. Thus, they link and establish, based on the sacred text, their interpretative proposal in response to the central question of philosophical anthropology: What is it to be human? What differentiates human beings from other living beings? Thus, a vision of the human being is articulated which fits with the personal and epochal aspirations, and representations, of each interpreter.
