Summary/Abstract: The gulf between theory and practice is, after Aristotle, not only rejected but is also historically interpreted as a call to progress which will make way to u new "moral science". The process of transcending the contradiction between theoretical and practical cognition as heralded by Descartes, but was actually initiated by Hobbes and continued by Kant. In interpreting Kant's philosophy of morality within the continuity of the early modern programme of "moral science", the author makes special reference to a particular feature of Kant's new definition of the philosophy of morality, expressed in the form of systematic analogy between natural and moral law. The author proceeds then to a critical appraisal of modem definitions of morality and custom, in which many "old issues are raised again".
