Summary/Abstract: In this article author is about to menage the question of actuality of Kants philosophy. As a way to do it author outlines the critique of transformation of transcendental philosophy in the work of K.-O- Apel, The core of the matter is made of two theses. First, that Kant is not a prisoner of methodological solipsism in the manner of modern rationalist master thinkers. Second, that Kant have with its concept of communicability of statements and intersubjectivity consensus overcorned methodological solipsism. Third, that Kant's philosophy posses actuality due to the concept of sensus communis in the sense of fundament of community's constitution and thus of language as a medium of communication. Article is concluded with two statements. First, that transformation of philosophy should be accomplished along the categories of practical reason (KpV A 117, and KdU A 156). Second, that core of transformation could be made of fusion of Kant's philosophy and contemporary language philosophy because of their complementary, and ultimate foundation in the sensus communis. In author's opinion it would result in new design of Kant's philosophy in keeping with the contemporary philosophical currents.
