从自由到权利:康德政治哲学的内在逻辑

From Freedom to Right: Internal Logic of Kant’s Political Philosophy

康德政治哲学的突出特点是他为近代国家的合法性提供了坚实的基础,即自由的绝对性。人作为自由的存在者,其自身就是目的,当他在社会生活中展示出自己作为自由者的身份时,自由就外化为人在社会生活中所具有的绝对权利。这种权利属性是个人一切其他行为的基础。国家存在的合法性依据就在于维护和保障个人的这种不可剥夺的、绝对的自由权利。

The Characteristics of Kant＇s political philosophy is that he provides the solid foundation for the legitimacy of modern countries, that is, the absoluteness of freedom. Man as the free existence is the objective itself. When he in social life shows itself as a free identity, freedom externalizes as the absolute right in the social life. This kind of right attribute is the foundation of all other behavior. The legality of the existence of countries lies in the maintenance and guarantee of the inalienable, absolute right of freedom.
