Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyze Karl-Otto Apel’s communication philosophy from the point of view of his transformation of Immanuel Kant’s transcendental philosophy. For the purpose of the transcendental-pragmatic project postulated by him, Apel had to make significant modifications to Kant’s original assumptions. He extended transcendental philosophy to include modern achievements of hermeneutics, linguistic pragmatics and semiotics. According to the author, such a transformation of transcendental philosophy makes it possible to preserve its fundamental claims, as well as to fill the gaps and overcome aporias. Pragmatic and semiotic transformation of transcendentalism allows Aplel to formulate a postulate of communication philosophy as prima philosophia.
