ABSTRACT Kant does not completely work out his philosophical conception of enlightenment. The definition of enlightenment that he offers in his well-known essay on the topic does not seem to completely match the definition that he puts forward later in his essay on the pantheism controversy and in the third Critique. It remains unclear how the two definitions relate to each other and whether and how they rest on the same principle. The lack of clarity in Kant's conception of enlightenment is left mostly unaddressed in the secondary literature on the topic. This paper suggests that Kant's philosophical conception of enlightenment rests on the discipline of pure reason. The self-disciplinary principle of reason, which is laid out in the Doctrine of Method of the first Critique, underlies both of Kant's definitions of enlightenment, although he himself does not clearly demonstrate how it does so.

康德批判哲学中的启蒙学科观

摘要康德并未完全阐明他的启蒙哲学概念。他在有关该主题的著名文章中提供的启蒙定义似乎与他稍后在有关泛神论论的论文和第三批批评中提出的定义完全不符。尚不清楚这两个定义如何相互关联以及它们是否以及如何基于同一原理。康德的启蒙概念缺乏明确性，在有关该主题的辅助文献中大多未得到解决。本文认为，康德的启蒙哲学观基于纯粹理性的学科。康德对启蒙的两种定义都基于理性的自律性原理，这是第一批批评方法论中提出的。
