Létezik-e politikai a priori? Immanuel Kant és Friedrich Schlegel „vitája” a forradalomról
Is There a Political A Priori? A “Debate” between Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Schlegel on Revolution

Summary/Abstract: Many different strategies of distinction between ethics and politics exist in the history of philosophy. Though Immanuel Kant created a new critical method of this differentiation in his late works – in which the moral was derived from the fact of reason and categorical imperative, but the politics was derived from the human nature and the maxim of publicity –, this distinction could not be affirmed by young transcendental philosophers, e.g. Friedrich Schlegel. In this paper I reconstruct the “debate” between Kant and Schlegel on the possibility of political ‘a priori’ following their arguments about the notion of republic. According to the complexity of the question I analyse only a sub-question, the moral and political dilemma of tyrannicide (or revolution), which represents the difference between the standpoints of the two philosophers.
