Abstract

This work intends to reconstruct Kants philosophy of history according to two different perspectives. The first perspective is of systematic order and intends to show the place of Kants philosophy of history inside the system of critical philosophy, showing how Kant justifies (through theoretical and practical reasons) his teleological conception according to which the history can be conceived as a political and moral progress of human species. The second perspective intends to reconstruct how Kant exposes the course of historical progress, suggesting that the cultural, civilizing and political development can be understood as a preparatory condition of the moral progress.
