Immanuel Kant’s Theory od Education and Moral Improvement

Abstract

This article intends to analyze the theory of the education of the philosopher Immanuel Kant in order to understand how education can play an essential role in the perfection of human nature with morality ends. Therefore, we start from the following hypothesis: education, when based on the ideal of humanity, is the key to the moral perfection of man as a human species. To this end, we divide our article into two sections. In the first section, called the theory of Kantian education, we aspire to analyze the theory of Kantian education in its physical and practical aspects. In the second section, the pedagogy of enlightenment, we intend to understand how Kantian pedagogy can contribute to the realization of the autonomy of thought and moral enlightenment. Therefore, we will try to defend the hypothesis that a model of education is possible for the moral progress of human nature.
