Kant’s Critique of Political Reason
Kant’s Critique of Political Reason

Summary/Abstract: Although considerations regarding the political sphere do not occupy much space within Im-manuel Kant’s system, the influence of his concepts on our contemporary critical thinking is enormous. The coherence of Kant’s political concept also remains a problem, where the highest good to be achieved by humanity is eternal peace, within the entirety of critical philosophy. In this article, I attempt to show that such a connection exists, and the vision of political order can be interpreted as the highest form of realization of rationality, whose source is reason. The reali-zation of such a goal can only be thought of hypothetically, but most surprisingly, it is condi-tioned on the assumption of the existence of God as the creator of a universal community of people of good will.
