A Study Of Kant’s Theory Of The Highest Good In His Critical Philosophy

Kant’s theory of the highest good is not only very important in the history of philosophy,but also has an important position in Kant’s philosophical system.By systematically combing Kant’s theory of the highest good in critical philosophy,it can reveal the internal connection and development of Kant’s concept of the highest good in the three major criticisms,and analyze the dual meaning of the theory and reality of the theory of the highest good from the whole.Kant began to discuss the concept of the highest good from the question of what one can hope.Through the answer to the question of how human hope is possible,it sorts out and analyzes the development of Kant’s thought of the highest good in the three major criticisms and its significance.Kant’s thought of the highest good runs through his critical philosophy.Freedom is the foundation of Kant’s philosophy.Kant’s theory of the highest good is carried out on the premise of freedom.In "Critique of Pure Reason",Kant’s theory of the highest good is carried out from the perspective of human hope.Kant believes that human hope refers to obtaining happiness that matches virtue,which can be understood as the hope of obtaining happiness after doing moral things,and thus expands Kant’s discussion of the basic content of the highest good.The highest good is the combination of enjoying happiness and obtaining happiness."Critique of Practical Reason" and "Critique of Judgment" are extensions and supplements to the theory of the highest good in "Critique of Pure Reason",focusing on the question of how the highest good is possible,and mainly analyzing and solving this problem through two aspects.On the one hand,Kant proved that the highest good is possible in practice by solving the antinomy of practical reason.On the other hand,Kant introduced teleology to solve the problem of the reality of the highest good.People can gradually improve their own morality through cultural education,strive to obtain the happiness that matches the virtues,and move towards the goal of the highest good.Therefore,people’s hopes are taken as the starting point to link the thoughts of the highest good in the three major criticisms.Through the combing and analysis of Kant’s critical philosophy of the theory of the highest good,we can systematically understand Kant’s critical philosophy and deeply realize the important value of Kant’s theory of the highest good,whether it is to deepen contemporary research on the theory of the highest good,or to promote Kant’s critical philosophy.All of the researches have important theoretical value and practical significance.
