Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, ...), , language: English, abstract: This paper examines the philosophical contributions of Immanuel Kant within the context of German idealism, particularly his tripartite division of the essential components of human living: animality, humanity, and personality. Kant's philosophy is often linked to notions of liberalism, given its emphasis on individual autonomy and the quest for independence. However, this essay argues that Kant's ideas do not equate to outright liberalism but rather propose a framework for moral autonomy, grounded in the respect for universal moral law. By analyzing Kant's distinction between independence and dependence shaped by socialization, politics, and culture, the essay explores the boundaries between an individualist conception of human existence and liberalism. The work seeks to determine whether Kant's vision of independence as a free and moral agent aligns with liberal ideals or represents a distinct philosophical approach to human freedom and morality.
