A thorough reading of the Idea of a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Aim, The Conflict of the Faculties, Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason and Perpetual Peace shows that Kant embraces two distinct and opposing views on the historical-teleological sequence of establishing peace. According to the first view, the establishment of a political community anticipates the realization of peace, which in turn precedes the formation of an ethical commonwealth. However, according to the second view, the establishment of an ethical commonwealth assures the realization of peace. These opposite views can be reconciled by distinguishing three stages. First, a just political community secures a provisional legal peace that coercively guarantees external freedom and right. Secondly, legal peace in a political community makes it possible for man to realize his moral progress and to respect his moral maxims so that an ethical community is established. Finally, an ethical community upgrades merely legal peace into a moral - and truly perpetual - peace that is no longer based on mere self-interest in external freedom and right, but on communal moral dispositions concerned with inner freedom and virtue., Stijn Van Impe., and Obsahuje poznámky a bibliografii
This review-study aims to present a critical exposition of the ground-breaking work in the study of secularisation, Charles Taylor's Secular Age. The study points to the links with Taylor's preceding work, Sources of the Self, which consist above all in the contrast between the porous self and the buffered self. It also presents Taylor's conception of secularisation: secularisation is not the retreat of religion from the public sphere, but the widening of the social process that makes it impossible for one world-view to make claim to a privileged status. The study also focuses on Taylor's rejection of modernity which, in the shape of a scientistic world-view and a universalistic morality understood as the hegemony of exclusively-human categories. In the context of this rejection, the article discusses Taylor's attempt to weaken the "hegemony of the human" by a relation to transcendence., Tereza Matějčková., and Obsahuje poznámky a bibliografii
