Summary of philosophy of right (õiguse filosoofia kokkuvõte)
Kant was a Calvinist. Natural law preditermines every natural event. But history can not be
predicted because men act chaotically.
Kant seeks to prove his claim that rational and moral autonomy will inevitably defeat the
compulsions of self-interested individualism. Kant seeks to achieve this by advancing a
hierarchical account of development of world history.In writing from the perspective of a
universal future history, Kant valorizes an unrealized future state (though he is aware, however,
of the problem of theorizing without empirical basis, recognizing the appearance of irrationality
that such an enterprise exhibits and criticizing Herder for extracting conclusions from speculative
pyschologizing).
