History and Nature : A Moment of Political Enlightenment in Kant’s Historical Essays
歴史と自然 : カントの歴史論における政治的啓蒙の契機
網谷, 壮介

This paper focuses on the political-practical aspect of Kant’s historical essays. In “Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Aim” (1784), he attempted to write a history in which, in the future, an “intention of nature” leads human beings to establish perfect civil constitutions (republics) and world peace. The paper will first tackle the problems of theoretical consistency in the “intention of nature.” Although it may seem to contradict general Kantian critical philosophy, if we study the first and third Critique, we can see the “intention of nature” as based on a “regulative idea” for a “reflective judgment” of history. Second, the paper shows that his universal history was projected not only to describe the “intention of nature,” but also to realize it by itself. According to the ninth proposition of “Idea for a Universal History,” a history with a discussion of where nature will lead “must be regarded as possible and even as furthering this aim of nature.” This passage corresponds to the idea of public use of reasoning in the article “What Is Enlightenment?,” which was published soon after “Idea for a Universal History.” This history aims to show Prussian citizens how unnatural their absolutism is, and how natural it is to progress toward a republic.
