HISTORY AS A TRANSCENDENTAL IDEA IN KANT’S PHILOSOPHY

The report says that the philosophy of history does not constitute a special section of Kant's philosophical system, but is organically woven into the logic of his theoretical, practical philosophy, as well as philosophical anthropology. Next, some aspects of the antinomy of nature and freedom are considered, and it is shown how it is refracted in the historical dimension. The report reveals the theme of historical progress in its specific understanding for Kant. In conclusion, arguments are presented in favor of interpreting the concept of "world history" promoted by the German philosopher as a transcendental idea.
