康德论自由与权利

康德哲学最核心的是自由问题。由于人的自由自在的存在是一切道德法则的根据,最后则是每个个人之绝对尊严与不可让渡的绝对权利的基础,因此,当康德在为自由辩护的时候,他也就在为每个人的绝对权利与绝对尊严奠定基础。这是康德哲学之所以在推动欧洲乃至全世界的人权观念与人权实践的深化具有持久力量的原因所在,当然也是它对近现代政治学说具有持久影响的原因所在。

Kant's Theory of Freedom and Right

The essential part of Kant's Philosophy is freedom because man's free existence in itself is the foundation of all moral standards and finally it is the basis of each individual's absolute dignity and inalienable absolute right. Therefore, when Kant is defending freedom, he is setting the basis for each individual's absolute right and dignity. That is why Kant's philosophy has persistent power in promoting the human right notion and practice of Europe and even all the world and why it has persistent influence on modern and contemporary political theories.
