康德的根本恶与意志自由之间的内在张力

Intrinsic Tensionbetween Kant's Radical Evil and Free Will

康德提出的根本恶以其普遍性和无法根除的特点,显示出某种必然性。这似乎与康德主张的意志自由相违背。根本恶作为一种趋恶的倾向,是对道德次序的颠倒。这种趋恶的倾向是整个人类族群生而具有的,并且无法根除,对人的道德自律造成了巨大的挑战。但从本质上看,趋恶的倾向是人的主观意志自由选择的结果。因此,根本恶与意志自由不仅没有矛盾,反而反映了人在实践中的自主性。对道德次序的颠倒,体现了人的意志自由。

The Radical Evil put forward by Kant show some certainty because of its universality and its inability to be eradicated. This seems to be inconsistent with the Free Will held by Kant. Radical evil, as a tendency toward evil, is an inversion of moral order. This tendency is born with the entire human race and it cannot be eradicated. It poses a great challenge to human moral self-discipline. However, in essence, the trend towards evil is the result of the free choice of human will. There is no contradiction between Radical evil and free will. And the Radical evil reflectspeople`s Autonomyin practice. The reversal of the moral order reflects the freedom of human will.
