康德的形而上理想论

On Kant's Metaphysical Theory of the Ideal

康德建立了人类哲学史上最为壮观的形而上理想,这种理想是一种道德理想国,也是理性、目的的王国。在这个王国里,理性为自己立法,此法即道德法则,它是所有有理性者共同遵循的法则,只有在遵循这一法则的王国里,才有真正的自由,这在自然的世界里是不存在的,只有在实践的世界里,才有真正的自由。康德的形而上的理想为人类众生设定了一个无限高远的理想王国,对这种理想的追求彰显了人类的崇高性、高贵性,从而使人类与自然世界、动物世界区别开来。

Kant establishes the most spectacular human metaphysical ideal in the history of philosophy.The ideal is a kingdom of moral ideal as well as that of the reason and the purpose.In this kingdom,the reason makes a law for itself,which is the moral law for all the rational people to follow.Only in the kingdom where the moral law is abided by can there be real freedom,which is to found only in a world of practice but not in the natural world.Kant's metaphysical ideal sets up an infinitely remote kingdom of ideal for all human beings,and the pursuit of this ideal highlights the noble nature of mankind and distinguishes human beings from the nature and the animal world.
