Abstract

By revisiting some controversies about the meaning of Kant’s concept of the purposiveness of nature in his moral and political writings from 1784, this paper has two aims. First, I will emphasize that in the Lectures on Natural Law, in the Groundwork and in the Idea this concept has a critical and non-dogmatic status. Second, I intend to elucidate that the use of this concept is anchored in the Kantian presupposition of “natural dispositions” and of “destination” of human reason, introduced in the first Critique.
