Abstract
The aim of this note is to indicate two mistakes concerning the living forces debate in the article of Luca Ferrara, Principio di ragione, giudizio e intelletto negli scritti precritici di Kant. The first mistake lies in the assumption that the living force of Leibniz (m.v 2 ) is the cartesian momentum (m.v). The second one is the attribution of the Traité de Dynamique (1743) of D’Alembert to Diderot.
