Orizzonte del mondo e libertà dell'uomo nello sviluppo del pensiero kantiano tra ragion pura e declinazioni della filosofia pratica

“Orizzonte del mondo e libertà dell’uomo”
The article aims to highlight the close relationship between Kant’s elaboration of the pure reason and the aspects of his practical philosophy with relation to the concept of “world” and the development of human being’s freedom. Man and his destination (Bestimmung) are considered the accomplishment of the concrete realisation of freedom in the differents fields of philosophical and moral reflections. The problem of the reason’s third anthinomy, i. e. the relation between human freedom and the determinism of the cause-effect-connection inherent in the natural world, is resolved in the light of freedom’s central place in Kant’s practical philosophy and its manifold dimensions. Thus the philosophy of history, of religion, of right, are conceived as complete expression of human activities and, as such, receive their solid foundation through the “keystone” of the entire system of human reason, i. e. the freedom, as Kant’s most important noumenical mainstay.
