The Human In Kant’s Moral Philosophy

Abstract

This study aims to explore the dimensions of Kantian thought regarding humans and ethics, examining the relationship between humans and the moral framework presented by Kant. It highlights the foundations upon which Kant built his system of moral philosophy, such as human free will, the moral law, and the concept of the human as an end in itself. Humanity is considered the cornerstone of philosophical thought, as it is the only being endowed with reasoning, perception, and knowledge. For this reason, Kant's moral philosophy is fundamentally centered on humanity.
