Keywords: Kant; metaphysics; freedom; reason; religion;

Summary/Abstract: Kant gave two new meanings to the age-old science of metaphysics, creating thus two new disciplines: metaphysics in the theoretical sense and moral metaphysics. However, only the second one, the metaphysics based on practical reason, corresponded to a certain extent to traditional metaphysics. This new acception claimed a type of knowledge based on the concept of freedom, a fundamental concept for human reason. This article shows the role of freedom in the development of Kant’s moral metaphysics.
