康德自由观价值评析

摘要

Immanuel Kant,the founder of German classical philosophy,has made the theory of freedom an influential one for generations.His perspective greatly enhances the status of human beings that“Act in such a way that you always treat humanity...never simply as a means,but always at the same time as an end.”Because of Kant’s rejection of human emotions in the empirical world,freedom cannot be realized in reality but have to be pushed to the “otherworld”.Despite this,people have not ceased their pursuit of freedom and through constant effort philosophers finally get an access to the “otherworld”.Kant’s theory of freedom is of great significance for people to comprehend the connotation of“freedom”as well as solving the problems in our moral education.%康德作为德国古典哲学创始人，其自由学说对后世产生了深远影响。康德提出的“人是目的，而不仅仅是手段”的论断，充分提高了人的地位。而他在道德活动中对于人的情感的排斥，使得自由在现实生活中无法实现，最终被推向彼岸世界。这样的不足并没有打消人们追求自由的积极性，后世哲学家们通过不懈努力，找到了通向彼岸世界的途径。康德的自由观对于当前人们如何正确理解“自由”的内涵以及解决我们道德教育中存在的问题具有重要意义。
