Problem natury i zła w świetle prac I. Kanta
The Problem of Nature and Evil in Kant’s Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Point of View and Other Works

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author exposes some serious problems concerning Kant’s answer to the problem of nature and evil in “Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan point of View.” He also traces his treatment and reformulation of this problem in other works. Ultimately, he argues that Kant’s concept of nature is incompatible with his concept of God. The author demonstrates that there are two main sources of Kant’s error: (1) a misapplication of the principle of teleology, and (2) a misinterpretation of history with respect to man’s nature.
